XJET fall '08 schedule change 23MAY

[flifo81]

XJET loading fall '08 schedule Friday 23MAY. Includes four station closures...

 

[rjacobs]

while I feel bad that those stations closed, I would rather see management make smart decisions to close unprofitable stations and routes and re-deploy the aircraft where we can make money vs. continuing to operate on these routes and make ******************** for money.

 

[azpilot]

and those stations are?

XJT closed that one a while ago.

 

[EMB170Pilot]

Did the SkyWest deal go through yet?

 

[flifo81]

Closing stations...

The following will be closed...
BFL...OKC...OMA...TUL

 

[flatspin7]

Are they turning out over to CHQ??? I can't imagine CAL would pull out of OKC, OMA, and TUL completely.

 

[flifo81]

No...those are the branded stations closing, not COEX.

Yup, after ExpressJet Holding, Inc's 2008 Annual Meeting, the stock has been in a steady decline. Currently they can be called the NYSE biggest losers(percentage) at noon club. -36.27% dropping value to $1.74 and still holding as the biggest losers as of 1:34pm ET. OUCH!!!!!!

And another clueless CAL pilot shows just how clueless he is.

PS, we arent flying the Q in EWR either.

 

[Stifler's Mom]

Good luck XJET.

Any idea how many pilots this will effect? I hope your management can figure out how to pull this off without furloughs, but I can't imagine a reduction of 30% of branded flying can be absorbed elsewhere. I hope I'm wrong.

I think we are finally seeing the beginning of the giant ******************** sandwhich we are all going to eat at some point.

Delta announced a reduction, AMR & Eagle have and now XJET. Just a matter of time before we all feel this pinch.

Branded is small already. The aircraft will get shifted to charter. I've been hearing that the COEX side is understaffed in EWR and CLE. We'll see how this affects staffing.

I will COMAT it to you along with your lifetime supply of your favorite flavor (sugar not included) but while we're at it.
Come on out this summer to the center of the universe, the birthplace of Kool-Aid.

Check this out!!!!!! I've been to everyone one of them and they're awesome. Yo Mike! Are you going to go this summer and if so, what flavor are you going to be?
This year I'm bringing home the Kool-Aid Koozie so no one will ever know what I'm drinking besides the Kool-Aid.
Oh, YEAAAH!!!!!!

XJT is trying to distance themselves with the bad stations. Pretty much the only example I can think of to compare it to is the OJ Mayo situation with USC. USC is trying to be a typical shady university and hide behind the story that they were "unaware" of Mayo's wrongdoings. We know this isn't the case because they paid Reggie Bush a lot of money, and probably at least 43 other athletes or more. The school should be on probation for a variety of reasons, mainly because they keep paying students. I think XJT could use that money.
