Is Mesaba the next Newco?

[Max Powers]

Whale roast you obviously are a rookie......

This is what you do when your a blue collar working that has been abused for the past 8 years(in my case). It is your destiny I have forseen it so shut up.

 

[whaleroast]

Even if it is my destiny, which I have control over believe it or not, I won't end up crying about it on some message board!

 

[Max Powers]

It's almost 3 am so whaleroast SHUT UP

Oh and it is your destiny

So I'm In SK's office yesterday, and I overhear him say that Mesaba just hired some upper level NWA types. Kinda odd that we'd need new blood from the mothership if we're going down the tubes . . .

I don't know how to fact check that one, but I thought it was pretty good fodder for the Rumor Grinding Device Mk II (you know, the RGD 2.0?).

 

[dbrownie]

Ye haaaaaaaaaa ALPA needs to stop this from happening or NWA pilots should walk. Oh wait you would have to have some balls to do that.

How can ALPA stop anything from happening that the company wants to do that is legal?

We have "walked" before; how many times have you "walked"?

You can't just "walk" because your pissed. Remember Americans' union that got fined?

They are going to mess with all the red tails they can...
It is in the lawyers hands now...

From what I hear NWA VP of Ground Ops just went over to Mesaba... If that is true, the guy/gal has to be either stupid or know something good is going to happen.

True...problem is "good" has very different meanings depending on were you sit. As a pilot I think I would have a different defination than a Manager as to what good is.

I suppose in good I meant Mesaba not going away/shrinking to...what was it... 9 airplanes? The Mesaba guys certainly won't be makin' the "good" salaries that are deserved.

 

[captpetefam]

What?!

9 airplanes?! Where'd you get THAT number from?!

It's 16! Gosh... get your facts straight. 14 Saabs and 2 CRJs.

:uzi: imp:

BTW - for the young and stupid... this is DRENCHED in sarcasm.

 

[saabingitagain]

Ya, those 14 short lease term B- aircraft we aquired from 9E... and a few A--... that leaves us with, ummm, 2 out of production CRJs.. uke:

There are ways to stop this...we just need to think out of the box....The red tail unionS could band togther and set a average wage that we will all agree to work at..seeing as we are all in negotiations at the same time. Basically we need some form of brand scoping. Except to do this the senior guys would have to give up more pay and benefits and we would have to agree to sizable cuts for Mgmt to agree to a solution that will give us more power in the future.

You guys are like a bunch of old women.

You have no control over this situation.
Shut up and numb the pain.

You seem to know a little too much about this chick flick, Nancy.

 

[screwed_again]

I've heard through the grapevine that XJ will have 70 - 70seaters, 50 - 50seaters and the 49 Saabs when this is all done. Anyone else heard this?

 

[ClippedWings]

I heard the same rumor but it was 70 70 seater crj, 70 50 seater crj, and 49 saabs.

I think whatever grapevine you've been listening/drinking from has been ripening for a very long time. "These grapes taste funny!... they make my cheeks warm."

I sure would love to believe you and I DO hope it's true but I don't think anyone can say such things with confidence right now. Nice try.
