That wouldn't matter. UAL controls the airplanes. They will consolidate airplanes with the surviving carrier to achieve the fleet size that they want. The rest will be parked.
ExpressJet's disadvantage is that their workforce has significantly more longevity. They'd be more expensive even if they adopted the same pay scales as Commutair.
