Mediation is a matter of when, not if.

Ouch. So you're sayin it's gonna take a bit more time before you get a new contract? Lol.

It'll be measured in years, not months.

But yet, guys keep picking up open time all over the system?

I guess they are either too stupid or too selfish to realize how this hurts everyone.

I'd be curious to see avg age of MD-80 fleet, though (I have a feeling your A-319s and 757s are skewing #s a little)

BTW- I'm not necessarily pointing this out in a disparaging manner; you fill airplanes with a very specific segment of the market and have been quite profitable as a result. My 6.25-yr-old airline is just now realizing sustained profitability (and is just now figuring out how to fill airplanes with a decent load factor/yield mix).

Their airbus and 757 fleet ain't new either

I heard the 757 had another aborted takeoff again today???? If I were the FAA, I'd shut it down also!
