Well it happened in April and May that after we were issued schedules; they changed.

I audited some random routes and the Aug 10 schedule looks identical as far as I could tell for YX. Maybe there were some last minute changes from when they gave you all pairings. Either way, I'm pretty confident in my assessment.

My condolences to those at Expressjet who are getting the news everyone fears today.

I wonder to myself, is this where the UAX carrier cuts end? Or is Xjet just the canary in the coal mine?

Scooter says the 50 seater is going away. So this is just a 2-3 year reprieve in my mind for C5 and ZW.

Expect an announcement from United in the coming weeks
We only need one 200 operator. We will go with the cheapest one.
Then we only need one 700 operator—-so on and so on
They will continue this shuffle until they dwindle down to the size they want to be

ZW is in the same boat as EV, very top heavy , a lot of 15-20 year lifers left.
Very expensive pilot group

Could Expressjet survive as an aircraft Maintenance operator? The memo doesn't specifically declare that Expressjet will shut down or close it's doors or liquidate or anything along those lines. It just basically says United chose Commutair to be it's E145 operator.

The impression I have is that Expressjet is the gold standard on E145 maintenance.

No but they did say they were working on winding down operations over the next couple of months. I would imagine that means everything.
