Of course. They're still a great company. Just have a backup.

Things change on a dime. Make a list of your favorites and apply to them all. See what's best for you.

A previous post lumped Comair into the group of regionals that "weren't doing well." If you're talking financially, Comair is actually doing very well. I believe we net 20-30 million a quarter. If Delta didn't hold us back so much we'd be doing even better.
From a morale side, things could be better though! With that said, now back to ExpressJet!

Well, XJT is my first, then RAH. I know that XJT has a good contract, but like others have said in the past --- One day the best, the next day...the "red headed step child." I don't want to make the move and then get screwed/furloughed (worste case scenario). I think I might stay put until RAH comes calling. Their stock is doing very well, (currently 55.74/share), they have a good contract as well, and I don't think they have the potential to be bought out any time soon...

But then again...we all work, or will be working for an airline...'nuff said...

RAH is around $20 a share. Still good. Making money hand over fist. Don't discount SKW either.

Yeah beat me to it, but it isn't that high, more like $20/share.
Just remember if you go there you have to sign a 2-year contract...
As for furloughs, that isn't going to happen.

Go where you live. And to put it simply, XJT has 274 Jets and they are all the same. Think about how easy it is to switch bases and pick up/trade trips since everyone can do that in the same pool. The flexability here is probably unmatched by any other regional.
