MCO to EYW not a problem. What they might do is run the 700 ATL-EYW-MCO-EYW-ATL. They almost did this a couple of years ago when who was ever doing it couldn't handel the the loads.

If you have 10kts of head wind and the WX in ATL is good you can usually carry 70 pax.


701EV
 
MCO-EYW sounds like the perfect ATR route......:beer:

MEI-ATL is an EAS route....just like MCN-ATL...We all pay for people to fly from these cities through our taxes....

It's really ubsurd that we help pay for people to fly from MCN to ATL....More govt. waste......more waisted tax dollars...more pork....

What's happening in MEI is the way an airline boosts it's subsidy when expenses rise. Obviously fuel and other expenses have greatly increased since the last negotiated deal. To start the rebid process, an airline has to give notice of termination of service under that negotiated subsidy. Once the termination of service is given, then basically the bidding process starts over. In this case, ASA has probably already submitted a bid for a new subsidy amount. Other airlines can participate. Should no other airline place a bid (the most likely situation), then ASA will be required to stay--but at the new subsidy. Should another carrier place a bid also, and the carrier is deemed financially and operationally fit, then the other carrier could receive the award. However, aside of the $ amount of the bid, there are other determinants and considerations. Lowest bidder may not be awarded if it cannot demonstrate that it is financially and operationally fit to perform the contract.

Even if a carrier loses the subsidy bid and terminates service, should the new airline fail, the replaced airline can be required to return and provide the service--but at a new subsidy value. It is a no lose situatation.
 
All your base are belong to Delta!

After the SLC and LAX fiasco, I seriously doubt there will be a base there at all. My guess is we will be there long enough for Delta to reroute all of its future passengers and help lighten the inpact and then cancell all or most of our flying into and out of there.
 
Where has this ever been said officially? I have seen nothing except hiring slow down to a trickle to cover attrition and upgrade classes cancelled!
 
well I'm gonna try to be positive here and hope that it stays.. could be the first signs of Delta getting rid of Mesa... guess we'll see.. but I'm hoping for the best
 
Go to DL Net...Network Planning....Schedule development....

DL/DC bulletin 174A shows us in MCO for May....Then bulletin 174B shows us back out of MCO for June....Looks like this is just for one month....

Also lots of cut routes for both mainline and DCI.....Among them ATL-ACY,FSD,SCE,TOL,GRB.....

Not quite. Those bulletins aren't listing all the flying being done. They are only listing changes to the previous month's schedule. All station managers get the bulletin and look for their station, then adjust their flights accordingly. No ASA MCO flying in the June bulletin = no changes in the ASA MCO flying for June, meaning we will still be there status quo... at least until the next bulletin comes out!

Not quite. If you look at the May bulletin, every one of those routes has a termination date that's either in May or in June. Those routes go to back to F8 on the termination date unless you see "discontinued" in the comments. However, that will probably not stand. Delta will probably change the June flying to ASA by mid-April.

You are a bedpan my friend. Mesa pilots are ALPA pilots. You should be hoping for the demise of Non-Union DCI carrriers such as Skywest.
 
Hopefully Orlando provides us a time to shine. Getting out of Atlanta and proving we have the service to grow would be nice. This should be further motivation to put D-0 to work for our on time.

Hey Brian LaBreque and Skippy- see what happens when you have competant leadership with a true desire to succeed.
 
Also- has anybody else been using the service door to pass paperwork to the rampers in order to help work the system? I don't like doing it, but it works in a pinch. It suprises me that a lot of people think the service door is tied into the ACARS- it's not.
 
Wait till the W&B function works on the ACARS, it take less than a minutes to complete. Should be online next month.
