Does anyone have any information about the current breakdown of aircraft between Continental, Delta & independent ops? Anything would be considered helpful! Thanks!

There's an article about Expressjet in the July issue of Airways, as well as a great candid interview with Gordon Bethune about everything from Expressjet, Delta's post bankruptcy future, and Gordon's own future jobs prospects. Worth checking out.
From the Expressjet article in Airways Magazine:
Type #
EMB-135ER/LR ( 30 )
EMB-145ER/LR/XR ( 244* )
* 44 assigned to Expressjet Airlines; 15 to Delta Connection; 15 to Expressjet Corporate Aviation; all others assigned to Continental Express.
200 of Expressjet's 274 aircraft are assigned to Continental Express.
42 Aircraft - "Expressjet Airlines" scheduled "point to point" airline
18 Aircraft - "Delta Connection" based in LAX (14 EMB-145XR and 4 EMB-145LR)
9 Aircraft - "Expressjet Corporate Aviation" dedicated charter aircraft
The Corporate Aviation and scheduled Expressjet fleets consist of 30 EMB-145XR's, and 21 EMB-145LR's. The aircraft in these fleets are interchangeble save for a few aircraft that have the main door "airstairs" installed....those aircraft should stay charter only.

205 + 42 + 18 + 9 = 274 aircraft

Just to be stupid and picky... but ExpressJet does NOT operate the EMB-145ER version. All of the original ER versions of that aircraft have been changed into EP variants.... gotta love when "airline" magazines screw up what they're talking about even though they're supposed to be "experts" on the subject.

Quoting SierraAir (Reply 12): True but I was talking about the independent ops. With 42 in the fleet and 18 accounted for, there's stil 24 'mystery' aircraft flying around.

I'm missing something... what 24 mystery aircraft????
XE has 274 planes... total... was supposed to have 275 originally.. but one was lost during a training accident long time ago... the plane actually still "flys" on the ground at the training center as a cabin simulator for F/A training and also the cockpit became a full functioning FTD for pilot training...
