Ok first of all, if you are just talking about continental ops, XJT operates over 200 aircraft for CAL and also included in and out of EWR! CHQ operates what, 45? All they are all in and out of CLE and IAH. Are you kidding me? The worst airline on planet earth should be able to get over a 90% on time percentage out of these airports. You can't compare over 200 aircraft flying through EWR with 45 aircraft flying through CLE and IAH. The fact that XJT is that close to you guys even with EWR pretty much tells the story. Nice try though buddy!

WOW this is pathetic. Xjet gets some flying and its they undercut us. Though I am not a big fan of express jet because of how I have been treated in CLE by them (nothing like being flicked off by them as you sit to go to LGA), I am glad to hear that they got some more work and some of their guys will be back online.
Did they undercut air wisconsin, probably. Was it the pilots fault. HeII no. The Xjt managment probably figured it would be better to sacrifice some profit in order to get the work. Air Wisconsin as some one else stated, would have aquisition costs that would have to be passed on to United as they dont have that many airplanes sitting around. This is all a managment function and has nothing to do with the pilots from either group.
As far as ontime percentage goes, comparing CHQ for ontime with Xjet without data that shows per airport is useless. If you want to know how reliable the carrier is, look at the departure board on any given day and see who is running on time the most. CHQ, RW, and S5 do have a higher ontime performance than the other code shares for their respective major express operations.

Get your facts straight before you spread more rumors. CHQ has in no way undercut XJT. I make the EXACT same amount of money as a CA at CHQ as I would at XJT. I have great benefits including good insurance and the best travel benefits of any airline in the system. My QOL as a JUNIOR CA commuting is not nearly as bad as I've heard from others at similar regionals. Let's not forget something VERY important. CHQ has put out better numbers (completion and on-time) than XJT every quarter since beginning the Continental Express flying. I have had NO maintenance cancellations and can only recall one delay of 15 minutes in over a year. There is no junior manning and we even get Christmas bonuses. Stop the hating!

As previously stated by my fellow co-workers, that is simply not true. You guys don't operate through EWR, and let's not forget something VERY important....you don't have ACARS. You can fudge the numbers all you want. Also....work rules have A LOT to do with your paycheck's bottom line and your QOL.

All of our CoEx 145's do have a time reporting system that works the same exact way as your ACARS. We can not fudge times, stop the lies until you get your facts straight! I already commented about EWR and I understand your point. System wide XJT does put out GREAT numbers! Does it cause you and your fellow XJT'ers too much pain just to accept the praise and agree that we (RAH) also put out great numbers. I feel like some XJT posts come from an opinion that they control and are the best when it comes to Continental flying. Why? Continental (like Delta) wants a variety of regional partners, is that a problem?

There is one very important pilot group that XJT undercut, a group with hundreds of furloughs, a far better contract than XJTs. The United pilots are the ones who got screwed, stop this regional-regional who is better than who crap. You are all so immature and quick to look down your nose at your brethren at other carriers. I can't believe some of you have demonstrated the "moral character" to hold an ATP.
