CLE flight reduce dates for United Express??
Company isn't telling us much and it probably won't do so to prevent folks from leaving in masses. I find it hard to believe that they don't know a lot more than what they're telling us.
Looked on Expedia & the routes that I looked up cease to exist after June 4th. Flyingtogether has them but with zero capacity on the seats.
It would be nice to at least know if it will be a wind down or a target date for all flights. Same thing for the bases. Although, it seems highly unlikely that any express base will remain.

Here is the latest from a member of management on the company message board:
"I wanted to take a moment to advise you we've received both the April and May schedules from United and they are very similar to what we fly today. I expect it will take another week or so for us to get a some clarity on the June and beyond schedules. I can report we don't anticipate any staffing or flying reductions as a result of this announcement with our primary focus being on minimizing any impact to our CLE based employees. I'll be sure to update you as we get additional details."
So I guess the Q's are going to be redeployed elsewhere?

The first question actually that came to my mind is whether they are going to park all the props that fly out of CLE. I was not aware that Great Lakes had stopped all their flying and parked their airplanes because they did not have enough pilots. I learned first about it from the WSJ article on Tuesday this week. I also had an new hire FO tell me a few month ago that he turned down a job at Skywest because they were going to put him on the Brasilia. So I am wondering if all props will eventually be parked because they can not hire pilots to fly them?
