All of the good, old callsigns are fading away. I miss hearing “Waterski” and “Blue Ridge”, among others. “Kronos” is pretty cool though.
Bluestreak and Brickyard are still here.
This is just a merry go round. Follow the $$$$$$. Contracts can and will be broken. Escape clauses, things beyond our control are talked in every board meeting.
Pilots, MX, Flight Attendants, gate agents are nothing more than worker bees.
Yes, in 5 years there will be another pilot shortage. Been there and done that.

First ASA basically went away when SkyWest took all the CRJs and closed the Atlanta base, now Expressjet is gone too, sad, there goes over 40yrs of history. That's the airline business for ya.
I was there right after ASA first started in 1984.. One of only a few that survived. At least, for a long time.
Really bums me out.

What are they going to do with the E145s that ExpressJet owned?
Been doing some research and this move by United is big corp. Sneaky, dirty, but big corp at play.
They bought 49.5% of Expressjet last year and own 40% of Commutair. They basically shutdown Expressjet (exclusivity contract?), transfer some aircraft over to their Commutair, and write off their share loss. If they had less shares in Expressjet than Commutair, it's cost structure would now be higher) Im betting Commutair would be the 1 on the chopping block . Remember due to labor contracts, United can only fly so many jets over 50 seats at once, and now that problem is solved.
As for TransState. The airline itself may have closed up shop, but not TransState Holdings. They own GoJet and fly the new 50 seat CRJ550 for United. How long that will last (a 10 year contract may be hard to break..or not for United), who really knows.

Yes, next to certain people, big businesses are the new Satan. And Biden's tax plan to target the wealthy and the wealthy corporations is no help. If it happens, those people and companies will just pass those costs onto the middle & lower class. Does he not realize that? I guess not, with his Alzheimer's in full effect.
That's the Left's plan. Destroy capitalism by wrecking businesses, destroy the middle class by killing the economy, make everyone except the super-rich dependent on the government.
