Mesa 900's Out for Bid?

[Taco Rocket]

A few facts to correct misinformation about USAPA losing the large small jet grievance (ALPA originated that silly "large small jet" designation):

US Airways' authority to deploy Large Small Jets is that which it was prior to the combination of US Airways and America West.

That's 38 CRJ-900’s from the West Agreement and 55 LSJ’s at Participating Affiliate Carriers (e.g. Republic), as well as 60 LSJ’s at Wholly Owned Carriers in the East Agreement (-700s included in this number).

If you think PSA will get 900's, ask yourself how PSA will finance them when its parent company doesn't want or can afford debt on its balance sheet and its leadership is out to merge again, taking down industry capacity.

This is a joke thread. Stop being so serious by ruining it with your Mesa Kool-aide delusions.

PSA fleet planning. Apparently they've been asked to evaluate CRJ900 performance to place a bid for the Mesa 900's.

We have one of those?

ensuring a plan B

I am sure Tempe is just making sure they have a plan B in place. They did this back when MAG first started down this slippery slope.

Why doesn't it seem like Plan & Tempe shouldn't go together.

That ended when Parker say that guy in the Crew News almost cry about the 900's.

For the sake of all of us, somebody should have pulled him down and taken the mic. I was a few feet away- damn, that was harsh. So was the Nearly Deads giggling over it in the Arnie Gentile camp in the back.

Oh yea..... Nothing Good Happens at PDT either!!

RULE #2!

So let me get this right. PSA "fleet planning" told you they are evaluating the CRJ 900 for Airways.

Did they also tell you to go stick your head in the oven? If yes...please proceed.

It's a lie.

PSA doesn't have a fleet planner, nor do they plan ahead for anything.

Nor do they have money to aquire planes. Airways owns PSA and Airways won't be dishing out any money for planes anytime soon.

AWAC buys PSA and merges operations and bases. Duplicated management is cut. Larger planes are financed by AWAC.

You heard it here first.

and then outsourced to Republic.

Sorry, I thought maybe your computer died before you got to complete your thought.

PS: I second the call on this thread being BS...

 

[plunger]

Won't happen. PSA and PDT will be kept the way they are or shrunk, like PDT, until the economy turns around and/or a merger between mainline Airways and another carrier can be arranged. Then both PSA and PDT will be sold off/liquidated to rasie capital for the merger.

Actually that is the way he talks.
