Didn't my friend up in St Cloud, MN say they could be coming up there? I think I did....... Maybe it is at risk flying vs pay for departure? The days of free profits for regionals may be over.... It is pure survival time....(just like the majors, imagine that??? Paying for your own fuel bill? Imagine that?)

Where did you read that ? Or once again just talking out your ass


Hmmmm, I guess you can't figure out that if UNITED is asking for the cheapest operation possible, it probably would be AT RISK flying..... Wanna read the statement again? United aint doin great ya know. Here you go:

"ExpressJet offered us the most competitive bid, enabling us to continue to operate efficiently in this difficult environment."


Re-read it yourself 8 times and then get back to me.

Hehe. Nice one. Well, I'm not sure what type of contract it is in terms of fee for departure vs. at risk, but Skywest management did say that XJET bid this flying at a loss.
