Express Jet employment link disappears on their site?

Seriously though, don't you guys at XJET still have that Playboy chick working for you? That would be sweet.

Unfortunately Kellner is the reason that branded even came into existence. If they didn't pull those planes and then have the nerve to ask for them back, then there never would've been a branded side of ExpressJet.

These days it's all about the cheapest costs. I don't know much cheaper CHQ and Colgan are, but I would guess that they are since Kellner is really sticking it to XJT for whatever reason.

If XJT had decided not to go branded and to give the airplanes back where would they be right now? They'd still be a large regional in a healthy position. However the branded is now draining money from their pool that is dwindlying. It might not have been the favorite options but XJT would have been better just giving the planes back securing their income from CAL without the loss of branded. Hindsight is 20/20 though.

For what it's worth CHQ was not the cheapest bid for the CAL flying contrary to most people's beliefs. Both PNCL and Mesa underbid us.

She still works here, she does NOT look like she did when in playboy. We have many female pilots that are hotter than her and they were not in playboy.

Hmmmm. Lose 25% of your company overnight, with the possibility of losing another 25% in three years. Doesn't sound healthy or large to me. XJT did what they thought they had to do to remain viable and competitive.

I would like to let you know, having been at both CHQ and XJT, that XJT is a great airline and they have their stuff together. CHQ is a good airline but it seems that the 170/175 is their golden child and the 145 is the redheaded stepchild. It's too bad but oh well. I hope XJT is around for many more years, they deserve to be.

I agree! :beer: There is nothing better than not commuting. CHQ was lucky to get you. I hope all is well!

Thanks man! Have fun flying the "Lead Sled!"

I'm a commuter, I use X-jet all the time. 99% of your crews has been great but every airline has that 1%. That includes us and RAH. Those of us that fly the CAL side at CHQ hope all is well on your side and wish nothing but the best for you and your company. As far as contracts etc, etc. thats all B.S. lets face it a regional airline is a regional airline we are all contract airline/pilots. For those of us that commutes to IAH if there is anything we can do your always welcome on our a/c.
