If I were you I'd be more concerned that United seems hell bent on removing flying from Expressjet, and is willing to use a second UAX carrier to make it happen. Personally I expected we would have some issues staffing this flying and that some of it would stay with Expressjet if we couldn't staff it. Doesn't bode well for Expressjet that UAL is sending flying assigned to them to a second carrier.

CommutAir will be picking 40 ERJ-145s which are ex-ExpressJet E145s that were returned due to their leases ending

My entire premise in posting today was how poor a choice the CQFO program was and that it did not save your staffing issues as many posted.

Got it. You're giving an example of hypocrisy.
Sorry company guy but again you are wrong.
