XJT in Australia?
 
It's a hell of a lot better than China and at least they're thinking outside the box. I'd go...

There is no way the Aussy government would allow this, seeing there huge immigration roadblocks. Atmost I could see expressjet sending airframes to australia to be operated under australian control with Aussy pilots

Damn....XJT feeling the crunch, eh?

That is in no way any kind of win for XJet...could serve to **** more than a few people off I think.

Can the 145 be ferry-permitted for that trip? I'm sure it can't be ETOPS certified...how would they get the birds there anyway - Australia is so far over water on all sides??

yeah $280.000.000.00 in the bank, we are def feeling the crunch:rolleyes:

Get off the "Expressjet is in deep Sh*t bandwagon", things are always changing and we have a much brighter management team than Colgan, I wouldn't worry so much about us and I would start to worry about your new leader and the fact that you don't have a union, while your at I would worry about your payrates as well...........
