All went fine, the express jets were definitely older and not as clean, but flights were safe and on-time.

Hopefully you are flying on United Airlines and not one of the Express Carriers. In which case I can firmly assure you that you will be in perfect hands. My former colleagues are still the greatest gathering of dedicated professionals running the safest operation in the world. All despite the incompetence and greed of their upper management!

EDITOR NOTE– Let us know if you fly on any of their “GO JET” partners.

What they are doing is hauling human freight so please just shut up and suffer through the flight.

Regional jets are fondly known as “Vomit Comets” to those who travel.

There have been some recent books written from insiders of the industry about over-worked pilots, inadequate and cut-rate (offshore) maintenance and aging infrastructure (air traffic systems) so flying will likely get worse….

Now that the goal is fully achieved and the employees at United are beaten down to the ground, there is no reason for the existence of GO JETs.
The major airlines are now putting the economic squeeze on their feeder carriers. When the money for CEO bonuses are tight, the only thing left to steal from is maintenance and training.
Their employees are already on food stamp wages and under pressure to accept any junky aircraft!
