Each of the agreements will be retroactive to Nov. 1 and allow ExpressJet to begin realizing $20 million annually in cost savings, the company said.

With the addition of the savings from those agreements, ExpressJet said it expects to meet its goal of achieving $35 million annually in wage, salary and benefit reductions from all employees.

It said the reductions were necessary based on an amended capacity purchase agreement with Houston-based Continental that became effective July 1.
