Hope mainline gets more flying back, if only to thin the ranks of disgruntled lifers who ruin "One Level of Service".

Wow, thanks for that predictable response guys. Still compensating for that teeny tiny wiener, apparently?

What was that "fuel savings" program again? Did you know the RJ can cruise at .83+? Enjoy your next profit sharing check. Oh wait, nevermind, Lambourne. At least you can be jealous of the ones the DAL guys get.

Don't get him going. Next he'll be putting up a map of where SkyWest, Inc airlines flies to prove they dominate the regional routes....again. Spare us all!
But I'd have to agree. I travel quite a bit and the only time I find myself on a SKW or Expressjet plane is when I have to dead head.

I am not jealous of delta pilots. I am happy they are reaping the rewards of sound management. At least DL is talking steps to shed RJ flying. Rumor is we are in the process of doing the same. Do hope we can achieve a modicum of their success.

In the meantime what is your plan B? Where are you going when Expressjet rolls over? I've been at UA over 25 years. I've seen plenty express carriers go TU. You might be the next.

Have a good weekend.
