Legal Matters
The Company is subject to certain legal actions which it considers routine to its business activities. As of
December 31, 2015, management believed, after consultation with legal counsel, that the ultimate outcome of such legal
matters was not likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, liquidity or results of
operations.
Concentration Risk and Significant Customers
The Company requires no collateral from its major partners or customers but monitors the financial condition of
its major partners. Under the majority of the Company’s code-share agreements, the Company receives weekly payments
from its major code share partners that approximates a significant percentage of the compensation earned for such
period. Additionally, the Company provides certain customer service functions at multiple airports for various airlines
and the Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts receivable based upon expected collectability of all
accounts receivable. The Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts totaled $187,300 and $326,600 as of December 31,
2015 and 2014, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, the Company’s contractual
relationships with Delta and United combined accounted for approximately 86.9%, 88.7% and 91.6%, respectively of the
Company’s total revenues.
Employees Under Collective Bargaining Agreements
As of December 31, 2015, the Company had approximately 18,300 full-time equivalent employees.
Approximately 38.0% of these employees were represented by unions, including the following employee groups.
Notwithstanding the completion of the ExpressJet Combination, ExpressJet’s employee groups continue to be
represented by those unions who provided representation prior to the ExpressJet Combination.
Accordingly, the following table refers to ExpressJet’s employee groups based upon their union affiliations
prior to the ExpressJet Combination.
