Expressjet Position Notice

[ZeroThRUST]

10 additional airplanes means more like 90-100 pilots. The ratio is about 4.5-5/1 for each seat. Go Jet, being 'cheap' may be able to get away with slightly lower numbers.

Gojet couldn't staff or train for the last planes they got....where are they going to get 550 - 600 pilots from and get them trained by Oct. 1?

Comair and Pinnacle I'd guess. Can you blame
Them?

The current regional model is broken.

The CRJ side's business plan = Whatever Delta tells them to do.

Unsustainable plan with the new normal of oil price & cost control.

You're numbers are off.

GoJet isn't having problems staffing their aircraft.................yet. Wait until United recalls and the majors start to hire again.

cannot believe that XJT is getting 9 aircraft and we're upgrading 4 pilots... not ok.

Remember we lost 14 planes last year. This is not "growth", we are still going to have a total of 5 fewer planes than last year.

and don't forget about the 66 200's coming off line. Don't worry. Downgrades shortly to follow.
