Chitako/Continental Deal Not Done?

[Superpilot92]

Actually ExpressJet Holdings management did nothing for their employee's benefit, at least on the surface that is. What they did was their duty as officers of a publicly held company to do what they thought was best for the shareholders value. I'm sure you listened to the conference call about a week ago right? You know, where our CEO openly discussed the thinking behind keeping the 69 aircraft as opposed to letting the airline slowly be liquidated over the course of the CPA with CAL. When the numbers were all crunched and the different business plans were discussed the board of directors for ExpressJet Holdings decided that the best course of action was to continue to grow and operate the airline unit of the company. This was to the benefit of the employees only because they need to staff the airline so it can make money for the shareholders.

I'm sorry if our management foiled your plans for a quick upgrade on the hope of CAL flying, but we seem to do pretty well for our current customer, and I don't see us failing our new customers (whoever they might be) anytime soon.......

i think you are right, I think he is just mad because he might not upgrade as quick at the expense of XJT pilots and mgmt choices and he his upset. :bawling:

Succinct as always, Mr. Sniper . . . . .

Mesa has 36 ERJ's.

Plus, Mesa's OTHER code share partners couldn't give a rats if we switched our 50-seat ERJ's out for 50-seat CRJ's, thereby making these 36 available for use elsewhere (like maybe .. . CAL?)

Not that I care. Kinda been fun watching another regional be the whipping boy for a change.

I'd much rather see MAG fly these routes than CHQ. At least we're in the same union, not that it means a whole lot. Then again, MESA probably would've won the initial bid if CAL was really interested in giving them the business.

If there's another bid, my money's on skywest to win, assuming the drive to get ALPA there fails. They're Non-Union, CAL managment has to love that.

Deal is not done, we will pull 145's from the delta system and replace those with 170's then fly 145's for CAL. thats how this will work out. but untill i see a chq 145 in CAL colors im not going to lose sleep over it.

I heard the same rumor for the 1st time today, but since it is just a rumor, who gives a crap. OR, we could write up 50 threads about something we know nothing about... yeah, that would be greeaaaaat!

People need to grow up a little. I have never seen to airlines so PO'd at one another as this bantering between XJT and CHQ. One thing I will promise you, nothing that is said on this board, not one insult, not one opinion... is going to change the ultimate outcome. So why bother? Relax.

seriously, when you cross paths on the airport wave out of the cockpit, the others will wave back if they see you...leave well enough alone. none of you have any control over it it.
