Expressjet Domiciles

[Heybill]

I looked at their website and cannot find any info on where their domiciles are or where they fly. Can anyone point me in the right direction to learn more about Expressjet?

Iah, Ewr, Cle, Ont, Sat, Lax

 

[Sawmill]

CLE, EWR, IAH and I think SAT and LAX now. As far as where they fly that I dont remember but I know its alot of places...2 full JEPP 2" binders as I recall.

 

[I_Love_Lamp]

3 binders, the third including the high alt charts and the chart notams...

 

[Heybill]

Thanks a lot fellas!

We fly everywhere, 2 full busting 2" jepp binders and 1 1.5" for the hubs....more places in Mexico than any Mexican carrier. Some not so glorious. God help us if they decide to train RNAV approaches again, wont be able to carry all those plates.

Domicilies have been mentioned above- LAX and ONT are the most junior at this point. EWR may be shrinking a bit if Colgan's Q400 experiment succeeds and they find places to park those beasts. And who's to know how CAL's pilot contract negotiations will affect us...if they cave on scope, we're in trouble as CHQ will probably fly in the 170s the next day.

But, a good place to work and management has balls.

For what its worth, several new guys at XJT have gotten EWR, and they haven't started IOE yet.

True, looking at the new perm bid just out...a couple in EWR and a couple in IAH too. So, I guess new hires to all bases, except maybe CLE.

As the Continental side keeps diminshing the expressjet side rapidly grows... wouldnt be surprised to see the 190's 1 year from now. We shall see.... what do u think??

I think no chance on he11 that we have 190s in XJT colors. Our whole business plane is based on efficient 50 seat operations. If you throw a few 190s in there it throws everything out of whack and begs SWA and others to start competing directly with us. Now 26 more 145XRs, that I can see.....

Can you please advise your fellow ExpressJet pilots that they do not need to tell controllers that they are "with you" when they talk to controllers. The controllers already know it because you are talking to them. Especially painful to hear the ones where the "you" in "with you"is emphasized, as if something else could be the case. Redundant, stupid, and a waste of radio time.

Shouldn't we focus on landing on the runway instead of the taxiway before explaining how to talk on the radio?

Most just learned to fly in controlled airports a few months ago so they are still scared talking on the radio.

Maybe you should just start a couple of threads on the subject. Oh, wait...

Can you advise your fellow CAL pilots that when they crossed the picket line for Lorenzo, they became the real losers in our industry, NOT some young pilots who say too much on the radio!

When all you "professional" big boy pilots start leading by example then us little pilots in training (or Express pukes as one of your own calls us) might follow. I also enjoyed the 50ish sunglass wearing, Ipod going, and yes backback toting CAL professional pilot in EWR last week. If I had a picture it would be my new avatar.

 

[Mach 80]

Yes...some pilots from all airlines do the ridiculous "with you" thing but it seems to come more often from younger pilots. Some of the radio stuff from EVERYONE is simpy atrocious, including "cleared to go" instead of the more explicit "cleared for take-off". Whatever happened to "requesting....." instead of the gawd-awful "any chance....". "Expressjet 234 requesting direct Industry" sounds a lot better and more professional than the wimpy "Any chance Expressjet can get direct Industry?"

Another thing..when you get a freq. change it's not an emergency...you don't have to check in with the new controller that very instant...listen a few seconds so you don't block a current transmission...and if the controller doesn't answer right away....wait a full minute and try again....usually in that minute he will answer you anyway because he actually heard you while he was doing some co-ordination. Cracks me up (and irritates controllers) to hear some pilots re-trying the check-in every 5 seconds with the obnoxious "over" added. The controllers are currently being over-worked.....give 'em a few seconds.

 

[Captain Overs]

I think your confused. You mentioned Expressjet pilots, however, I know that a lot of your recent new hires at CAL still have wet ink on a commercial certificate.

Maybe you should worry about your own house. Last I checked you had a contract that was up for negotiation. But if you plan on rolling over, like most of your contracts, then I can understand why your so focused on what a regional pilot is saying on the radio.

Calm down man.. Mach 80 is just jealous he didn't get hired at XJT

I agree, expressjet has it's share of problems when it comes to using proper radio phraseology, but I actually think they're better than some other regionals because of the amount of International flying they do.

Most of xjet's new FO's are 600 hour wonders who's first flight above 10,000 ft might be today in that ERJ passing 1000 ft above you at FL370. Unfortunately there's really no good way to bring up radio phraseology in a non training environment unless you want to sound like a tool bag and create an awkward work environment for the remainder of the trip. Perhaps the check arimen aren't emphasizing it because they have they're hands full just teaching people to fly the plane.

I really wish people would crack open the AIM and take a look every once in a while.

You must be confusing ExpressJet with Executive Jet. ExpressJet's callsign is Jetlink. Executive Jet's call sign is ExecJet. Therefore you would never hear ExpressJet 1234 requesting direct...Hope this clears things up for you.

Hey there, better get your facts straight before you go around bashing a great company like ExpressJet... That was an almighty CAL pilot that landed on the taxiway, not some Jetlink "kid"...

Yeah your right i have never ever heard a CAL pilot do those unspeakable things either!! Your Professionalism clearly Shines through in your posts!! Thaks for you Wisdom! uke:

Oh and i am sure you know this but to correct your bedtime story above, its Jetlink not ExpressJet.

He was focusing that comment towards the almighty Mach 80.
