United Cuts Ties With ExpressJet
United has ended their contract with regional airline ExpressJet in favor of the rival regional airline Commutair, saying that all routes served by ExpressJet will be consolidated into routes served by Commutair... Pilots flying for ExpressJet have been told that they will no longer have jobs by October 1st, and that the fate of the airline looks like it will out of business by the end of 2020 (mobile-reuters-com.cdn.ampproject.org) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Was same for dispatchers.. I left the airlines 20 yrs ago, just too unstable and senority restarts really suck.. I feel bad for these employees.. time for career change.. corporate aviation worked for me..
I don't want to.... But may have to... To use a Star Trek Quote from Captain Kirk.... "All Good Things Must Come To An End!"
I didn't know Capt Kirk ever said that :)
Ouch.... I goofed.. It was Picard who stated that in the episode "All Good Things..." which was a 2 part Final Episode to "The Next Generation"... thanks for correcting me.
Knowing how hard the majors and minors have fought to lower pilot standards, this could be a bad sign. I personally don't like flying the minor (regional) carriers. They fought too hard to lower the standards for pilots and first officers. I'd rather have an experienced pilot that actually has more time IN the plane, rather than more time in a simulator.
I've never been treated worse then onboard Express Jet aircraft, hopefully the friends that I started ground school with are long gone ...
