Hello, Everyone :-)

It has been a LOOOONG time since I have posted n the Water Cooler. However curiosity got me on something:

I just completed training with a new job as a reservation agent for ExpessJet. I have learned a LOT about their operations, as well as knowing they are exclusive to COA for Continental Connection flights using the ERJ-145XR.

It got me curiously wanting to do some COA flights out of COS. I noticed that none of the connection flights are listed. Since COA is part of our operations, will we possibly be expanding to cover Continental Connection branches in the future?

I'm currently a 777 First Officer here, but if there were such a program I know I'd love to move over and slide into something that I study daily for my new job :-)

By the way -- I love this job -- it rocks!!! It's PERFECT for paying for my flight school and also studying other aspects of aviation while I learn to fly :-)

Aye I noticed that during training as well. Looked up the new scheme on Airliners.net. Sweet look on the ERJ!

I suspect that the only ExpressJet flights available to DVA pilots will be the new Delta Connection flights. That is if I understand our system correctly.

Christopher, that is a decision for Delta airlines. Our schedule reflects codeshare flights. Until Delta and COA incorporate the flights you mentioned as codeshares, there isn't much we can do about it.
