Hey... I was at F14 taking a bird to Austin the night before and I saw 3 ExpressJet 145's at UAL gates - what's the deal? Anyone know how much UAX flying that you are picking up and the details around it?

3-4 months worth, not a whole lot of airplanes. Oh and FYI, while it's the same paint job as branded, those are charter aircraft doing the flying (technically).

Nope. I jumpseated on one today (didn't get to sit on the memory foam seats :( ) and it was a CLE crew.

Mesa and TSA maybe should be a little worried...the passengers were loving the service. I told them to let United know.
 
Thanks for the info... although I saw 4 of them again today - a couple of them flying routes that are usually serviced by 66 seaters. It's a wierd thing to get used to - especially today being sandwiched in by 2 145's.
 
Yes, they are regular EWR and CLE crews doing the Yo-Nited flying. Originally EWR was set to be one of the outstations however that changed about two weeks ago resulting in the EWR pairings starting and finishing with a deadhead.

I think it's about 10 cities hub and spoking to ORD and IAD.

Last year we did a much smaller stint with United over the summer, it was with fewer planes for a shorter period of time.
 
You are guys are doing quite a bit of flying for my company as well (charter crews only). I'd call it "our" flying except that your airplanes carry 6 times as many people as ours... so it's not something we could realistically do on our own... yet.
