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.

 

[Abernathy]

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?

 

[CaribPilot]

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.

FYI:


You're numbers are off.

as is most if not ALL off 777's postings...

 

[russtgol]

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

 

[spudskier]

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.

Run for the hills.

Perk up resumes, update logbooks, whiten teeth, shave chest, etc.

Or, we have 9 more than we had least week.....or just be negative all the time. Whatever works.

I think Brad's update should have been titled. "Reducing Our Fleet. Again".

Once the 200's leave, and they will shortly, this won't be viewed as growth.

 

[Cpt Oveur]

the 66 200s are coming from Inc, not ExpressJet.

Disagree. I think they have found flying more flying with AMR, Airways or both. I think around Aug 9th another announcement will be made.

Skywest is still negotiating with Bombardier for an "enormous" order

We are getting 9. Do you really think that we will lose less than that number?
