Expressjet?...their branded side..isn't this old news

(And yes, it sucks a lot and wish it weren't the case..but this forum is worded like a whole airline is gone...i just want to make sure this isn't the case)

Branded and Delta Connection ceased operation yesterday...its old news that just went into effect.

Expressjet d.b.a. Continental Express lives on, along with Expressjet Charter.

Ok Phew, I thought for a minute that this was something new and Xjet as a whole was done.

Sorry to all you f'd Xjetters out there, i guess the only solace is knowing that you're not the only ones, and that we all fall together...and hopefully we all help to pick each other back up when the good times get goin again.

Are all the X-Jetters on one list over there? How many did they have to let go for all this lost flying? Anyone know what hire date it went back to?

One seniority list system-wide, furloughs went back to April 2007.

Rode on xjet to austin once. very nice. good luck to everyone and hopefully people who have been furloughed can get back to work soon.

Shared a van to the airport with two Xjet crews just yesterday morning. They all seemed in high spirits, never once mentioned that they were going to be out of a job today.

because it doesn't happen until October 1st.

I had like a month without visiting the forums, and you really scared me lol I thought it was the whole airline. Yeah well it really sucks but lets hope everything is gonna be better in the future. Oil price today 107$ and falling :)

Thanks for the well wishes. I was SAT based for 7 months and can honestly say the Branded flying was the best flying I've ever done. Getting furloughed stinks, but it was a fun 11 months with the company!

Thank you for the kind words, de727ups. Branded and Delcon will be missed greatly. It's a crying shame that we're shutting this down, while the price of oil continues to drop. Unfortunately, that's no consolation to the 350 we're putting out on the street. Good luck to those guys- hopefully something better than this job will come their way. :(
