In response to jetlink. 737 and 170's for Delta. Knowing Delta as a Delta Connection employee. There are scope clauses that limit the size and seating capacity. I can see the use of 170's, but not a 737. Are the 170's economical that Delta would have you use them? They are gas guzzlers.
And lastly charliebravo comment. What do you mean combination? From the beginning they were to be maintianed as two seperate companies. There were no merger talks.
And to those comments whos name is Larry Kellner and Jim Ream. Why are you using CO and XE's CEO's as your name?
Disclaimer: This is just from my personal experience and encounters with XE as far as a customer's observation compared to flights on Skywest as well.
Expressjet.. In case you never noticed Skywest has a heck of a lot more $$$ then Expressjet. Further, If Expressjet doesn't change/sell out they may run out of cash by the end of the second quarter.
I love the mormon comments... But, Again a whole lotta non mormons at Skywest too...
Lastly, I think Expressjet lost the plot. It cannot survive independently any longer.
