Mesa Air slashes service across U.S. Jeff Burns, Tribune

Phoenix-based Mesa Air Group has decided to suspend service to Albuquerque and has notified more than 12 communities across the country that it is canceling service, according to New Mexico Business Weekly.

The publication said the moves were driven by rising fuel costs and other costs that are contributing to large losses for the airline.

... and other costs ...

Writedowns in the UAL contract and a $90 Million judgement had more to do with it.

United said they would park 100 aircraft when oil hit 100.00 ???

"...and other costs..." = lawsuits from Hawaii. Thank your management for getting you guys into that situation.

They are dumping the EAS contract where they bid realllllly low to get it and were suprised with cost. They are looking to pick it up again at a higher subsidy.

 

[F/O]

Aww, poor JO. He actually has to pay for his fuel on these routes!!

Almost, I think you meant to say that Mesa and their pilots are an embarrassment to the profession. The industry could not see a brighter day when Mesa and the dirtbags that work for them no longer exist.
