Here's a thread from the Mesa forum. JO is such a d#$k! I hate to say things like that but what a worthless CEO. He took his play book right from President Clinton. You can't trust a word he says. Pathetic. He enjoys being an jerk. Mesa pilots don't strike. It will only shut down your airline and put you on the street. Get what you can and keep flying. I just wish the board of directors had enough intelligence to know that they could oust JO, put a better person in place and still make a profit.

Alot of people want to here this one i assure you.

From JO:
"That is not at all what I said. It was formed as a resultof the scope issue. There was no promise to do anything after the company was certificated and up and running.
"
In another post they talk about Mesa lines being taken from the 200 RJ's to let Freedom 700's fly them.
Here's JO's response to that:
"Wrong. Those were frredom lines being covered by extra 200s. Two aircraft are now being returned off short term lease. Do not be surprised - there are bunch mre aircraft that will be returned over the next 6 months to make way for 700 and 900 deliveries. Without a new deal with USairways those aircraft will exit the fleet. Please do not claim later that this is a surprise. The
200 fleet will shrink significantly."
==========================
It is very sad when the whipsawing just continues and the pissing contest is essentially an internal one rather than the typical regional vs mainline agruments.
So for all the losers that want to fly for Freedom looks like you will grow.
Don't fly Freedom or fly for Freedom!
