ExpressJet Airlines Extends Aircraft Contracts and Adds New Work Rules

In an environment of instability in the regional industry, ExpressJet is making smart business decisions to support our growth and stability. We’ve extended contracts on a number of aircraft this year and into 2016, and we’ve introduced new work rules that improve our already great quality of life. LOA 14 introduces a number of positive changes in our work rules:

Accelerated upgrades

Increased flexibility for reserve pilots

Created hybrid reserve lines to allow more pilots to hold a line

Reduced short-call and ready reserve requirements

Increased ability for line-holders to modify their schedules

Added a year of longevity pay to the first officer pay scales

Improved pick-up window allows reserve pilots to better control their schedule
