Express Jet to cut schedule by 30% at end of Summer
 

Is this 30% cut just the branded flying? Or is this branded, DAL, and CAL flying?

Sounds like branded...Besides, other flying is somewhat protected under contract.

I'm thinking it's only branded, there's no reason to cut flying that's profitable.

BTW, how many airplanes are currently flying branded routes? 15? So that’s a reduction of what………4-5 a/c? Just asking.

31 jets flying Branded right now. Charter has 14 jets.

I though some were being removed from branded and placed in the new UAL flying? Has that happened yet? So of the 69 a/c pulled the CAL; 14 are doing charter, 31 branded, 10 DAL and __ UAL? What about the temporary F9 flying, are you guys still doing that?

Are the 69 airplanes always the exact same airframes? Seems like I've seen some unmarked planes (which I assume to be charter?) pressed into airline service occasionally.

Our planes are in either the DAL, CAL or our own colors. You might of seen a 145, all white, with the blue (sans globe). That would be Chautauqua. They have many ghost planes that fly for CAL.

And yes, the cuts were only to the branded ops.

UAL flying is already over, it only lasted a month, and used mostly Charter aircraft. There are 24 flying for DAL. Frontier flying was over as soon as Lynx was certified.

Breakdown of the 69 Non-Coex (205 flying as Coex):

31 Branded
24 Delta
14 Charter
-----------
69

Branded and Charter have the same "Aqua Fresh" paint job and are interchangable. They can also be used in place of a Delta or Coex jet in the event of maintenance.

Thank you, I hope you guys can pull some UAL RFP's.
