From AA Company newsletter:

Quote:

American’s contracts with regional carriers ExpressJet and Trans States to end next year

In an effort to improve consistency for our customers and simplify our regional operation, we have decided not to renew our contracts with ExpressJet and Trans States when they expire in April 2019. The changes will not affect our capacity or service levels in any of our markets, and we will work closely with all impacted partners to ensure smooth and gradual transitions from ExpressJet and Trans States to other existing American Eagle partners. Once the wind-down of these agreements is completed, American will have seven regional partners, down from 10 we had at the beginning of this year.

Good riddance. Biggest POS planes can’t get rid of them fast enough. Hopefully we can have better coverage now and focus on quality..

I actually agree with him. IMHO the American flying we picked up in 2015 really hurt us. We ****ed in United’s Cheerios, did a shi t y job getting the American flying up to performance, lost a lot of perspective new hires (they wanted Denver but went to and got stuck in STL), and now we find out the planes that were sitting has been costing us a bunch of money.
