CC air guys....what happened over there?

[J and E's Daddy]

As the 3 stooges are classic comedy, you old schoolers were more classic! Nothing like having a good laugh at the expense of your CPs and they laughing as well with no harm done.

9-5 hired me, could of fired me but I swear loved me at the same time! Hope Ed is well wherever he is. What a great CP!

9-5 is at the FAA. i am not sure whether he's at the CLT or GSO FSDO.
His sidekick Kenny H. is at the CLT FSDO. I hear Kuhndog is there as well.

I understand Ms. 1-900 was known to let out some nasty ones in the plane at times.

did she ever take a bath? That girl was rank!!

 

[J and E's Daddy]

did she ever take a bath? That girl was rank!!

I still have vivid memories of her wearing her overcoat in the summer all covered in cat hair. I heard she had about 20 cats.

NoNoNo....That was WestAir/United Express in 1994-1998, out in Calif. This is how I understand it and yes I worked there. Good old Mesa....

MESA was not ALPA at the time.

Didn't JO have a hand in tanking Lake Havasu Airlines?
I worked with a lady at an FBO out there, she worked there at Lake Havasu Air, said JO came in for a couple of days and fired her on his way out because she questioned him.

See this is kind of what I'm asking, how many airlines total did JO screw over?

CCAir, WestJet, Lake Havasu...

Does Midwest Express fit in there somewhere? Does Freedom Count? I know there are more of these tiny airlines that he gobbled up in the process. I suppose one could make the arguement that he has helped lower the pay at ALL airlines.

Screw over directly? I'm guessing 4
Indirectly....all regionals.

I suppose you could make that aguement about ALPA as well.

 

[Fred Rogers]

I couldn't. That just does not make sense.

 

[ootskdog]

If we are talking strictly Mesa...the list is even larger. Mesa has acquired more airlines than any other domestic careerer in the last 20 years...

Air Midwest
Liberty
Florida Gulf
(add more)

Yes Mesa was ALPO.

What was the name of the Mesa outfit that flew the Two Fokker 70's?

 

[ERfly]

Yes Mesa was ALPO.

What was the name of the Mesa outfit that flew the Two Fokker 70's?

Wasn't it Desert Sun?

 

[dooork]

It was Desert Sun. and no MESA was not ALPA until...1997.

 

[J and E's Daddy]

ALPA or not JO's intent was to dismantle CCAIR once he got his foot in the door on the East Coast. He only used CCAIR to whipsaw the two groups and to beat the other into submission.

I just read a very interesting summary about Mesa -

check out the "Reorganization" section. Enough to give you a headache trying to make sense of it all.
