Who cares about completion factor! I mean a flight can be 4hrs delayed and still get completed. So what is the ON TIME performance? That is what matters and just as juice said the condition and reliability and performance is extremely below what to me is considered a good carrier. I flew the saabs down there and was embarrassed, and dissapointed to the people who were constantly affected by our poor performance. Operating peak hrs in summer with on a/c pack operable is just sickening. Im glad
express takin over.

I even drove and still do from houston to tyler just because i know there will more then likely be a delay or cancellation

I was referring to the EAS routes in general covered by 9L. I'd venture to say that many of the smaller non-EAS cities will get downgraded to something like a Cape Air type operation.

Just wait for the next few months, performance is going to be stellar. Glad I'm out soon, it's already a mess.

Not United's style. Expressjet to fill with the ERJ.

Any idea if this is permanent, or more of a "lets see how this goes" situation?

I should clarify the only Saab routes I see for May are out of IAD....not sure what up with IAH. Didn't have time to go through every line but there are at least no overnights in Colgan cities.
