Will comair get mesa's flying?

Your thoughts please. If not who do you think will?

Nobody will...

No, because Delta is not going to "buy" anything from Mesa. Delta will not put out capital to purchase anything to give to Comair, seeing how Comair is a subsidiary of Delta.

I do agree with the above post that nobody will.

That'll be some of the RJ reductions for DAL this year, not gonna help anyone out.......

 

[CX880]

ASA will.

DL has made it known the need to greatly reduce 50 seat RJ lift. There not going to replace F8 as it is excess. They'll move on to the next slaughter victim. Eventually DL will consolidate regional feed and have fewer carriers operating 700/900/E70 aircraft and one or two will operate what 50 seat lift is still required to fromer Saab stations, off peak flights, maybe some P2P and smaller focus cities.

 

[UnstableAviator]

Exactly. There is a market for 50 seaters, but that market isn't EVERYWHERE like it has been the last decade.

No one getting that flying. DL wants to greatly reduce 50 seat market.

No one will get this flying. Delta has made it clear that they wish to reduce 50-seat airframes within the DCI fleet. That was the reason they wanted to cancel this contract in the first place.

The only slightly positive effect that this will have is that it will reduce the pressure from other carriers (temporarialy) to remove more airframes this year, and possibly next.

Even in recent recurrent groundschool Q & A's Bendoritis (CMR pres) has made it clear that a Delta win in this will not create "additional" flying for any carrier within the DCI system.

Sorry to disappoint anyone, but that is the reality of this situation.

lets hope Delta gets their flying back

But the true question is... does Mesa still suck?






MESA SUCKS!

 

[SLUF4]

Didn't Freedom operate some 900's and DHC8's up in the northeast for Delta? Or does this ruling not concern those aircraft? I don't have the energy to read that whole document.

 

[ohplease!]

lets hope Delta gets their flying back

its still "Delta's" flying..always has been...its just that some people who shall remain nameless felt a little (uh-hmmm...a lot!) too good to do the work....so DELTA found someone else who was willing to do it....and it ISN'T "coming back 'inhouse'"....

Now, move on to the next subject and don't make the same mistake again...for the good of everyone...

Either way. Maybe less flying taken from Comair. Still a win win for Comair.

 

[N813CA]

Comair might get some of it from what I am hearing, but no additional aircrafts. Just utilize the ones we have more.
