ExpressJet has bases in ORD, CLE, DEN, IAH, TYS (Knoxville) & EWR.

We've closed CLE, never opened DEN, closed TYS and haven't had any EWR flights in 3 months. ORD has like 4 departures a day. We are essentially a IAH only airline right now operating maybe 30 of 131 jets.

MGMT has indicated if we somehow survive we are going to be a much smaller airline like 40 jets probably IAH based.

My thinking is daddy UAL keeps C5 for east coast 50 seat flying, skypest and mesa grow in IAH, AW and g7 absorb any remaining 50 seat lift in ORD. XJT gets shuttered and the 145XR's get transfered to C5 the 145LR's get parked in the desert.
