Default Re: Expressjet (XJT) BUSINESS ANALYSTS forecast

XJT's model may be the most viable in today's market with the uncertainty provided mergers, fuel costs, and aircraft shifts. The company is by far, the most liquid provider out there. Now, given the fact as Train said, 18% or so is tied up in branded (soon to be about 15% as corporate aviation increases in size) and the rest sitting in CPA/pro-rate DL and CAL flying, the company is in the same situation as nearly any other regional.

If CAL puts planes back to XJT, DL cuts us out, branded fails, and we furlough big deal. It happens. Life goes on. I made about 9X my current salary prior and will make it after. Aviation doesn't pay enough at the regional level for anyone to cry about a furlough.
