What we need is that the Major carriers like United, Delta, US Airways, and American to re-take routes that were originally flown by the majors from the regional carriers
I'm with Express Jet, out of ALB so we shall see about us.
It's a fight for a larger piece of the pie - air routes.
With approx 70,000 flights per day now ---it's no wonder
UAL does not want to loose control across the nation's grid.

Someone tell me please why Code Shares are a good thing??? Its just sad what has happened to our Commuter Regional airline industry in the US....
so this means that united will begin to control regional routes?
Not this - but most of the Express routes are "capacity purchase", so United writes the schedule (like Fedex Feeder). These routes may switch between regionals from schedule to schedule. The contracts for numbers of airplanes and rates are renegotiated every so often, but the schedule is up to United. A few of the routes are "pro-rate", which are operated by a single regional on its own accord.
Ground handling contracts are negotiated separately.

The cities affected by this move will still have SkyWest or ExpressJet planes flying for United, it is only the ground handling that United is changing.
