Mesa out of BK

[Whydoitry]

ExpressJet has given in on scope because the MEC believes it to be a better deal than SKYW walking away, not because there is some loophole in our scope. The scope may or may not be as strong as it is supposed to be, a judge would have to decide and JA has said he doesn't care to take it that far.

ALPA merger policy is NOT DOH, it is the merger committees of the respective companies working together on a list and if no agreement is made it goes to arbitration. There is no voting by the MECs or pilot groups.

Probably based on discussions with Brad Holt, some XJT reps feel that both Comair and Mesa are in JA's plans on making SKYW one of the world's largest airlines. So, Mesa out of BK, positive cash flow, flying CR7 and CR9 for USAIR gives JA another profitable division, makes sense.

Mesa's 900's have too many seats for Mesa to be merged with either ASA or Skyw. DALPA's contact restricts connection carriers to no more than 76 seats, so if acquired Mesa would have to remain a separate entity. No merger or integration.

Since you are a SKW captain, ask Mike Ma---- about that.

You will be surprised

What's with all the name dropping? Do you think we're impressed with you or something?

All of the names you've dropped could easily be looked up in a 2 second google search, so quit trying to act like some kind of a big shot.

Right....and reconfiguring the seats to make a bunch of 76 seat jets with first class is just beyond our capability down here in the ATL...right?



All those guys who've been calling Mesa the cockroach that will NEVER die are seemingly vindicated by this recent development, no?

I think it's quite easy to remove seats to bring it to 76.

It's only 76 seats if they're flown for DAL. UAL scope is 70. LCC is more.

Ya, it's just that simple, unless your contract stipulates that your customer wants 86 seats. You could renegotiate the contract, but if Airways wanted a different configuration they would have specified it. Pull 10 seats out just so you can make a few pilots happy? Keep waiting for that.

The DAL scope covers all the aircraft operated by a connection carrier, regardless of who they are operated for. That is why when ACA ordered Airbuses Delta canceled their Dojet contract.

Correct. And that's why Mesa (which sucks by the way) needed the Freedom certificate to fly for Delta.

These death to Mesa posts are kind of disturbing, think of the families, they're just the same as any of you that are flying for the other crappy regionals.

except they are flying for the crappiest.....that's all

Skw (which sucks btw) knows what they will have to do to keep the kool aid flowing
