Expressjet going to STC (St. Cloud, MN)??

Not yet, no. But with CAL now a Star Alliance partner, it's not out of the realm of possibility.

True, but that would entail some SERIOUS re alignment.

But I think you may have missed all the subtle hints at the rampant rumors flying about XJT and UAL.

They're trying to get $500,000 in funding for XJT. Why not just give it to Mesaba and keep them there. Maybe Delta is playing hardball.

Again, XJT is not a UAX carrier. I know, Star Alliance blah blah blah.

And again, I don't see this going to XJT under a Star Alliance codeshare when EAS is ALREADY being doled out to current ORD UAX operations.

Maybe XJT will be a UAX carrier soon.....

Delta doesn't want it. They want to get rid of the Saabs while they have the opportunity to do so.
This is all just part of the dog and pony show to allow Delta to dump these cities without looking so bad.

For their reasoning, it will initially take you to their home page. Just repaste or whatever and it should bring up the deets.

I'll have you know that St. Cloud is NOT a podunc city! It was ranked in Playboy's top 5 party colleges in the country when I went there!

Didn't he say his sister lived in Billings? Is Billings larger than St Cloud?

Billings has 100,000, St Cloud has 60,000
