Mesa Wins the Triple Crown - This from 3/11/11 Aviation Daily

[dooork]

So until April 1st that would mean only about a quarter of the fleet with ACARS that is actually "up and running"?

Maybe. What's the big deal?

USAIR,CAL.UAL.DELTA,NWA, Allllllllllll doneeeeeeeeeeeeeee chapter 11.

go bitch at them to.....you will never get a job there either....PSA lifer


oh BTW ASA sucks

All those airlines you listed went into BK because of 911 and the economy. Mesa went under because of J.O. unable to run an airline properly.
And he is still at the helm.

PSA Lifer? Sure hope not.

 

[CLARKGRSWOLD]

No mention of the fact Mesa reduced it fleet to 76 planes consisting primarly of favored 700/900 and most of the flying out of CLT, PHX and HNL.

Lets not forget IAD and ORD.

He sure helped...he signed long term leases for the 50s and stole a lot of cash and treated employees bad.......but its the the economy,,,,,supply and demand curves

Mesa bites shank!!!

My point was and is. Mesa is changing..... Mesa is performing better than Mesa has ever performed and better than other regional's are performing. Oh, BTW because of high seniority Mesa has the highest paid pilots. It seems to me that many of you just want to live in the past.

Rene, who will Mesa get in bed with next? In a shrinking market with fewer code share possibilities, who will it be? Gonna use that that Sprit windfall to finance new aircraft?

Get over that high seniority pay.......mr Chris.

I hope the mesa pilots ask for change of all of you in management.......you should pay mesa and not get paid...you stole enough...now you want pilots to take paycuts? are you f---- Kidding me.

Lets not forget IAD and ORD.

Did you notice the word "Most" in my post when refercing PHX/CLT? IAD/ORD have less YV flying than that.

Remember, it's cyclical. In the mid to late 90s, YV was humming along too. Growth, mainline partners doing well, then it nearly all went away. I remember sitting in that conference room in FMN with mgmt telling us that they had about 6 weeks worth of cash on hand and hoped that some upcoming changes would work.

The growth again, then slide back down, this time to BK.

So, good for them for showing improvement but don't be surprised when the bottom falls out again.

 

[say again]

You are one bitter person sniper!!!!

Wait till acars is installed.

The next downfall of Mesa will be management not taking the upcoming pilot shortage seriously and Mesa will self implode.Mesa pilots being the highest paid!!...not hardly. JO already said an industry leading contract was not going to happen.

JO can be replaced...The good old days are gone.

New BOD and JO is on probation. You heard that from me.

Mesa will be sold.
