DAL Regionals... "The Strong Will Survive"

[ASAFOE120]

Mesabas system wide A14 rate is at 95% for October. Beat that one!

And how many of those flights were out of ATL?

How silly of me as MSP & DTW never have delays.

We're talking about RAH. They fly our of CVG mostly. ASA gets >90% ontime in CVG all the time

Are you really comparing Detroit and Minni to an airport like ATL that is landing 3 parallel aircraft with 3 miles of separation all day long!

All I want to know is, how did a DAL regional thread become a pissing match between RAH and Eagle?

Because, if the airline isn't mine.... It sucks! Therefore Eagle and RAH both suck. And so does Mesa....

Actually, I think it is morphing into a "My Hub Airport is Tougher Than Yours" thread. Never a dull moment around here.

The SOC at Mesaba sent an article to all in the SOC, saying that we need to be on top in performance to survive with DELTA. I personally think its a done deal who will survive, we all just do not know it yet. With everyone already furloughing, its going to be a tough time for a lot of pilots. My best wishes to all of you, but I for one am drinking the company coolaid. I am conserving fuel and making the best of it for being ontime. Its just common sense in todays world to help out, saving your own career and partially the environment.

We couldn't possibly safely fly into an airport like ATL, no ice, blizzards--actual other busy airports nearby...
How is the traffic watch job?

The great piece here is between Compass and Mesaba you have the very best operators in cost structure. So, our goal with our contract carriers is to bring their margins down over time to more accurately reflect the overall margins in the industry. And Compass and Mesaba will give us that ability to shift flying from contract carriers to owned carriers at much better CASM.

It’s a work-in-process, so it hasn’t got that much attention. But between Compass and Mesaba there exists a holding company and they are actually already between those two carriers sharing functions, and we would expect that that would continue and would expand as times goes on.

I think things change at DAL by the minute. Old news.

They also said recently, post merger, any contraction that was needed would most likely come from the wholly owned carriers since they could directly control that as opposed to the contract carriers that were working under outside agreements.
