Is MESA going away??

[Rottweiller]

Well with the rumors out there that UAL has put out an RFP for 50/70 and turboprop flying (fit's MESA's operation??) and the cancelllation of pilot vacations through to the end of June, maybe things aren't too rosey in the JO club!

Really Rot?

You are 1 great detective

I have heard the RFP rumor as well.

So now Colgan is going to pay some kid $19/hr to fly a 70 seat Q for UAL instead of Mesa paying someone $19/hr to fly a 70 seat Jet? What's the difference?

Mesa Sucks Round Ones.

Colgan's probably more reliable and not run by the industry's biggest ****************************** bag.

Yes but they are now run by the industry's second biggest**************** bag, and once JO is out, he will take over the title

What is the source of this RFP? Sounds like a good deal for SKYW or Republic

Yeah thanks for including XJET - we certainly aren't willing to pick up any new flying at the moment.

They're going to burn less fuel and shave off some losses.

 

[fencitup]

If the RFP does come to be. It could be the break XJT needs right about NOW!
Provided we were to ink the deal
