"On the regional side, our people are very well compensated," Ornstein said.

I heard Ornstien was going to pay the pilots with coconuts and free passes to the Dole Pineapple Factory.

NO...he's gonna pay them with pineapples and they will sell coconuts on the side of the road on their days to afford to live there

What is sad is that there are people out there that would accept this in order to fly a regional jet.

I think you might want to look at the JBlue 190 rates as#hole!

No sh!t Jet Blue rates are worse then the Regionals, but nobody seems that upset about it. Let Mesa do something and they lose it.

"The airline industry is going through restructuring and I think we're about to see a huge turn," Ornstein said. "One of the reasons we're doing this is because now is the time to take advantage of opportunities because I think a turn is coming."

Sounds alot like the logic Harding Larwence used at Braniff immediately after Deregulation. Yeah the expansion that put Braniff on a one way street to Tango Uniform. I'll have alot of funny watching your little operation bath in red Johnny O.

BTW, what's up with the headshot with the article. Nobody will fly your airline out of sympathy, because the CEO is ugly.
