13 Freedom E145s parked at Florence, SC today

[General Lee]

Via the regional board----I looked at Flightaware.com for FLO today and 13 Delta FRL E145s came in early afternoon. Wow. Apparently they are being parked. I thought we lost the lawsuit with Mesa? Maybe there was an agreement made?

I believe they are parking them until the July schedule. There was not any flying scheduled for June because DAL did not expect to lose the injunction. I guess DAL will be paying for flying thats not being done. Doesn't sound very smart.

Doork:
DAL management doesn't do many things that are smart. I do believe however, that they would rather pay a fine, rather than have lousy mesa service. This is just an injunction, nothing more until the case can be heard. After that miserable POS cried to the courts that he'd be BK if DAL cancelled his contract, the judge saw fit to initiate the injunction!
I look forward to the day that JO is put out of business!

Amazing moment in Flight Info History

A post by GL and the words " We Lost "

Actually it was an injunction and in this case I hope Delta wins

My guess is DAL is fairly confident that they will ultimately win. Why pay the gas, just park them. If DAL prevails, then DAL would have saved quite a bit on gas, hotels, landing fees, etc.

Are you sure that isn't a Delta paint facility-- aren't they still trying to catch up with the latest paint scheme?

Delta is paying for RJs we don't want or need. Some were parked. That sounds like a Delta issue. Thanks for caring.....

Since no one has said it yet, just thought I would chime in:

MESA SUCKS


And, I hope they DIE, Soon.

Is it just me or is it wrong to wish 1500 pilots to be put out on the street? Maybe concentrate on getting J.O. out of Mesa. I wouldnt wish a furlough or job loss on anyone....But that just me...I guess I have morals..

Sorry, but don't really feel sorry for them. They knew what kind of company mesa was when they took the job, if they didn't, they were just morons.

Many are 'PFTers' who were just trying to buy their way into the business. Also, if none of these morons took the jobs year ago, then mesa would have been 'gone' a long time ago, and maybe someone would have been around who treated their people better.

What's the old saying, "you reap what you sow"

Did feel sorry for the skybus morons either. But, then that just me. Sorry, I call it like I see it.

I understand what youre saying. However the s$%t is hitting the fan. Capacity reductions along with furloughs a certainty I'm sick of seeing mainline guys eat s%^t for the last 8 years. Therefore I'd rather see Mesa take the hit than Delta,UAL, or USAir. It sucks to see anyone lose their job, but better some commuter jobs than mainline ones. Something has got to give. It's inevitable.

Its the nature of the business I know...Its a dog eat dog World.....But you can still keep those thoughts to yourself ( Plane Drvr).....No need to help dig the knife any deeper for the mesa people that need to feed your families......And the MAPD program is a lot less expensive than most flight schools out there so your buying your job comment was pretty Ignorant...Do some research before you comment.....It just makes you sound dumb

I don't like seeing anyone lose their job, well, except for the Skybus pilots, but RJs are killing the legacies. They just aren't as profitable as they used to be. Good ole Fred Greed loved them at Delta initially, said they were great for "frequency." Well, then he left Delta and went to Virgin America, where he didn't order even one RJ. High oil kills the RJ market. I can see more Dash-8-400s taking up the slack though, since they are relatively fast and can carry a bunch of people, for less than a CR7. No wonder Horizon is dumping theirs.
