Quote: 2. This is correct up until UAL found out that AA was the majority share owner, 20%, of Mesa when they filed an IPO in July. There are other signs of this if you do your homework.
UAL likely would not have found out for the first time with Mesa’s IPO that AAL owned 20% of Mesa with a 10% voting stake. But, I doubt it. Any due diligence by UAL during the CPA negotiations would have discovered AAL’s ownership and voting stakes a long time ago. AAL is also now at 10% ownership stake with 5% voting rights.

I also believe that UAL may retire the oldest CRJ700’s in their fleet. In that case, Mesa loses 20 CRJ700’s and GoJet loses 5 CRJ700’s. That math also makes sense.

My theory is what is said above. Except not GJ aircraft coming over. I think once the sell is complete they will announce OO getting some 175’ to help elevate the “teething” issues XJT will have with there 175 program. This will help UA ease the trainstion of GJ and Mesa 700’s out of the system and into AA system. Thats my take on it..

Except UAL purchased 25 E175SC’s where the deliveries start in April and continue through December. It is on their fleet spreadsheet and they are assigned to ExpressJet.

Due to United’s scope clause, a minimum of 5 of GoJet’s CRJ700’s have to go.

To paraphrase senior management at American, "We will not be entering into any agreement that results in having Gojet fly passengers of American Airlines."

I don't think they object to the employees, only the management practices.

I wonder if the poor management practices may be the same reason that United pulls the plug on GoJet. Do these management practices extend to all TSH regionals or is it limited to GJ?

Coming from a poster who’s only comments have been to complain directly about GoJet, and who believed a random outdated webpage as evidence GoJet had cut their bonus by 80%....seems legit.

Robert Isom has publicly stated that AAG wants its three wholly owned carriers and three regional partners of “size”. GoJet coming into AAG would not represent a partner of size because they would have a very limited offering much like Compass does. AAG is slimming things down, not bringing more in. 20-25 airplane fleet regional partners do not work with Isoms vision.

Expressjet is worse than GoJet. Ask me how I know... :/

* When SkyWest owned them. No idea now, but the same DO is there so I suspect most of the management is the same.

Please explain. Cuz I would beg to differ. Our DO (Jw) is a stand up guy.
