Freedom will set up in Orlando

[Airboss]

June 28, 2005





New Delta Connection carrier Freedom Airlines will begin flights in October from Orlando, Fla. Officials from Freedom and its parent company, Mesa Air Group, will visit Orlando this week to determine logistical requirements for the carrier's new service.

Delta will handle ticket counter functions, as well as baggage service and cargo for Freedom at Orlando. Delta Connection carrier Comair will perform gate and ramp duties, and operations.

Delta will announce specific destinations and schedules in August. The Delta Connection carrier plans to add service to new markets from Orlando, and will complement existing DCI flights operated by Comair and Chautauqua Airlines.

Not the Freedom you may be thinking of.

Please, Please, Please,



Don’t mistake these Freedom badges for the ones worn by the original Freedom A List. These people are not volunteering for the Freedom Certificate they are being forced on to it by management. We are loosing flying under the U.S. Airways contract and gaining some under Delta. The pilots headed for the Delta Connection are under ALPA 100% and are on the same seniority list as everyone else at Mesa. The Freedom A list is out there all over the place and they are the ones who helped J.O. create an alter ego carrier, not the ERJ folks from CLT who are headed for Orlando.



Thanks again

Still not welcome in my jumpseat...tell your management you dont want any of comairs or chqs flying!

I thought Comair and CHQ flew Deltas flying?

How is this different? (Not a flame, just an honest question) Does Deltas, Comairs, or CHQ,s scope prevent this, or does Delta managment retain the rights to say who flys for them?

So let me get this straight, a CHQ captain starting a jumpseat war against Mesa because they're taking CHQ's flying out of MCO? What happened to the "it's all DCI flying" mantra you guys put up when you burst on to the scene a few years ago, replacing all of CMR's Brasilias?

And on another note, does anybody see a pattern here? Mesa comes into MCO, in what I can only assume is a replacement of CHQ's feed out of there. ASA has a large expansion in TPA, replacing CHQ. What's happening to CHQ's ERJ feed for Delta?

 

[DASHDRIVER]

good luck with that it will be the same old mesa cry story its not us its our managment, boo hoo. Like they wern't the ones who signed the contract that undercuts everyone in the country. now in stead of going for the U wholly owns or AWAC they are out for comair blood

Chit-taco's flying? Surely, you must be kidding?

 

[KingAirer]

These guys are welcome in mine anytime. They have always been good to me trying to get back and forth to work. Im not giddy about the Mesa/DL deal, but what difference does that make, I dont think any of the mesa guys made the deal to begin with.

I'm sure they'll listen and comply promptly....TOOL

so some dork from CHQ wants to start a J/S war -

CHQ is the biggest bottom feeders out there - Mesa is not stealing Comair and ASAs 70 seat flying.

Yeah.... your mother

 

[EMB170Pilot]

I thought the flying was being replaced by comair out of orlando???

 

[FlamingFUPA]

Keep talkin sh!t to each other, you are all management's tools.

 

[labbats]

I think Chief Chautauqua wants his Louisiana Purchase back.

The board has truly turned around. Now, MESA is no longer a "bottom feeder"

I thought I'd never see the day.

O Dear!

Still not welcome in my jumpseat...tell your management you dont want any of comairs or chqs flying!

You are truly stupid! Why don’t you tell CHQ management that you want them to take back the 125 million $ bribe that they gave to U.S. Air for our flying in the first place. O and you can throw Air Whiskey in too. Our CEO said NO when they said you have to pay to play. When you get over yourself just remember that Mesa pilots will go tell on you. If you act like a Kindergartner you will be treated like one. These guys just need to get to work and if you throw them off for no other reason but to promote your own agenda which is formed out of ignorance you will just prove how stupid you really are when it comes to current events. There is NO reason for you to hate someone for a decision made by their management. And for the record I know that this guy does not represent the majority of pilots just himself. For the rest of you, I will say again, The ERJ folks headed for the Delta Connection are not SCABS. Please do not treat them as such out of ignorance. The FREEDOM A list is still out there for you discriminating enjoyment.

 

[FlamingFUPA]

Good point, refusal of the jumpseat should only be reserved for the real scumbags. But keep it up guys, management loves when the pilot groups are at eachother's throats.

 

[taxicabdriver]

If anyone wants a copy of that list just let me know where to send it.

Im sure Comair can say that about CHQ.

First: CHQ is not loaning U $125 million.
Second: It is not "your flying"
Third: Don't compare Air Wisconsin to CHQ/Mesa
Fourth: your CEO is a scum bag. Most MESA pilots understand this, you must be new?
Fifth: You are right, jumpseat wars are stupid and idiotic. Denying anyone but TRUE scabs (off the scab list) and the original freedom scabs is unprofessional.
