ExpressJet net income plunges 57.2%

I only wish the best of luck to the Express peeps but sadly it won't work out. Small RJ's have to be way to full way to often to make any money. If anyone passed on a major then I pity them.

OH look another CEO in the making!! Please explain using factual information and not the standard moronic "It wont work" Thanks, I really look forward to your FACTUAL information.

I dunno about you. It appears from the outside looking in, that you are scared to death about something. You response with vitriolic hate and venom when there is a comment about ExpressJet that is not to your liking. More ever, you sound as though you're trying to rationalize with yourself about the prospects of your company.

Deal with it bub. Most of us out here would like to see your company's venture turn out for the best. But you have got to get over the sense that you're better than everyone else here. You keep calling others idiot or calling their intelligence into question and all you serve to do is debase your own comments.

Just learn from Independence, don't make the same STUPID mistakes they made with this project - wish you guys luck!!!

Hey Bub, I honestly appreciate differences in opinion. However i think its uneducated of you to post information and present it as fact when you know its not. I try my very best never to do that. You continue to post "info" from people in the "know". I think that is uneducated mess. And your analysis of me is wrong again. You see i know where my company stands, i stay informed by all means available. I have never that i know of posted anything that resembles that I feel as though i am better than anyone else. I typically use this forum to help others out. I have helped many people out in many different ways via this forum and its a great tool for the most part.

Maybe you should look at the facts. The 50 seat RJ does have to be mostly full to turn a profit.

to this i ask how many full flights have we had? How many empty? Did you look at the facts? What is the BELF for us here at XJT? Our BELF may or may not be lower than some but i would venture to guess its lower than anyone else with this plane. Not to mention this isnt our only source of income. Is it hard to be profitable in this plane? Probably harder than others. Our mgmt seems to think we can do it so we will see. I dont know all the facts and dont pretend to. But i do know there are alot of factors involved in this, its not just black and white like many seem to say it is. just my 2penniesworth

first off, I don't get to see the numbers, so this is just my opinion:

- it has been stated that the CASM for branded vs. the CAL express flying is quite different.

-would you not agree that it costs less to get someone from point A to point B without stopping and connecting in point C? if we get someone from oma to ont for $200 on about a 3 hour flight, vs. continental flying that person to houston (2 hour flight on an RJ), paying tons of rampers to transfer bags, gate agents to re board them, and then flying another nearly 3 hour flight to ONT for the same $200. seems like the nonstop would have to cost less to operate.

Still more cost when the flying is yours and not contracted flying

Please feel free to explain. Would you agree there is also more income potential when its yours and not contracted?

Yes, just not with 50 seat RJs on small routes

You forgot to leave the part in where you explain your reasoning.
