Good luck to everyone at ExpressJet. I'm glad a little slice of QX's competition is going away, but I'll miss seeing the AquafreshJets.

Now they can flood the 135 market with low ball bids.

Branded flying was a lot of fun. I was only at the company for less than a year, but I'm glad I was able to be part of the Aquafresh Air Force.

Will QX continue those routes now that XJT is gone or will they pull out and go back to what it was before XJT went and flew those routes?

There is about 10 of them in MCO sitting on the ramp. Ready to go into the paint shop?

Some of the best flying I ever did. I'm glad I was a part of it's brief history.

Sorry, I have no clue. On the other hand, neither does management.

I'm guessing those are NASCAR charters, but I don't know a thing about 'neck car.

I've been saying that they are going to be all over this for months now. NCAA basketball season and hockey season are right around the corner.

Anyone know exactly how many planes they are going to have dedicated to charter?

I fly for one of nascar driver and his team uses expressjet. I think they have 6 contracts this year and have heard that there are 10 contracts for next year. They have 3-4 planes in concord nc. just about everyday, but they sit on the ground 4-5 days a week. Hard to make $ that way.

 

[Turtlesfly]

well when the CoEx side has a contract with CAL where it is impossible to make a profit because gas isn't even in the contract and the remaining expenses are too high . . . . it's better charter than nothing.

adding enough where it may be a gamble or maybe not....you still can't touch charter flying seniority wise unless you've been here forever as a CA or several several yrs as a FO....

30 EMB-145s

Yeah, I think its up to 11-12 years for captains and about 3-4 years for FOs.

I rode you guys several times between COS and SMF. Your product truly was superior to united and delta.
