Looks like 7 so far:Wow, I can't believe it hasn't been said already-
MESA SUCKS!
I thought Freedumb had more than 7 CRJ-900's? I could have sworn it was upward of 12 or 14. Hopefully Comair gets some of them- someone deserves them, and it ain't Mesa...........
Oh, well, they tried that trick at ASA a few years ago when the first batch of 900s came to SkyWest. I still have the memo signed by CT saying ASA was getting them.
They were coming to ASA...but we allowed them to go to Skywest instead.....Big mistake......
SkyWest can have the planes for what they wanted us to fly them for (paycut). No thanks!

More ALPA spin....They didn't want a paycut.....They just weren't going to agree to:
1. Large 70 seat payraise
2. Bfund retirement plan
3. 100% retro
4. Instructor section status quo
Spin it if you want....We held out and blew it....Those airplanes are gone now.....
Jerry won that round...and we lost.....Bravado will get you nowhere....
Oh, and do you honestly think management would have given the 900s to an airline that was in dead last place in on time performance?
I heard they might end up being flown by Delta mainline.
Hypothetical Question: If the DAL/Comair deal actually does go south, does this mean that Freedom is back in?
Not that I want it to happen, but to see a mainline guy flying an RJ... I'd laugh so hard. they treat RJ pilots/planes like such garbage when they can barely answer a radio call correctly.
spin this any way you want. but the fact still remains....your buddies screwed up and it has cost us, is costing us and it appears that it is going to cost us far into the future.Of course they wanted a paycut! That's what their position was at the time.
The reason management gives why we "lost" the airplanes? We didn't agree to their proposal.
In case you don't remember, that proposal was paycuts for 700 pilots, a minor raise on the 200 that would still put us below SkyWest, no workrules, PBS, and NO SCOPE. I think Section 13 was even still open at that time.
So you're saying we should have agreed to that to get 17 airplanes? What good would that have done us? Spare me the talk about how we can get them on property and then fix it next time around.

I've seen this story before, and it's getting old. Comair guys, take comfort- DAL has a tendency of awarding, canceling, and then re-awarding aircraft as a fear tactic. I wouldn't be sweating it just yet.

That would be a good first step at unraveling this god-forsaken mess.
But I know a guy who knows a guy who talked to some folks over on Virginia Ave who seem to think the planes will be operated by ASA in the near future. Some staff/management changes coming at Network/Fleet planning with the Northwest integration. So, as usual, if you dont like the situation today, stick around a day and see what it will be...
