Sounds like the same thing is happening to XJET to me, minus the competing head on head with a major part.

Good luck to the ExpressJet pilots, by the way. Like Independence, your company tried to take what's screwed up about this business and do something about it by offering a superior product at a competitive price. There are definitely some similarities, but there are way too many differences to call it a "redux".

Thats the problem. XJET has a superior product that is quite costly. But selling it at a "competitive price" will not result in enough revenue to cover the costs. Maybe they should turn the whole branded operation into a corporate/charter type deal.
