FSI Grad, your name says it all. yorue probably a 200 hr wonder who has "Shiny Jet Syndrome" You have no clue. do you work for MESA? , btw mesa SUCKS !!
I don't know Jerry or Brad but they seem like two guys at the bar that can't seal the deal. How many airlines have they almost bought? The 500 airplanes in 50 states vision sounds more like cool aid for the troops and not a solid buisness plan. It looks like they have a lot of money but tucking it under the mattress will not grow an airline.
Sure-the industry has up and downs, but really.... Are you seriously buying this mess about 500 planes? Is anyone really that silly and gullible?
-Whatever, big guy. I guess I'm just a "sour Sally," or maybe I am a "negative Nancy" or a "bad-news Bob," or whatever they may call people like me at the next pep rally. This industry is a complete wreck-it is a mere shadow of what it was just a decade ago.
Please forgive my indiscretions, but I have seen all this "the sky's the limit" stuff before, and I am seeing it again and again-the story grows old..... If you want to get all excited, do a few cartwheels for me, but I'll save my energy. I just can't get fired up with the same old rhetoric and nothing to back it up-again....
Even if we stay busy, it should be more managable if you want time off- more captains hitting the line..................I'm one of them.
Point taken. However, I absolutely see where the industry was 10 years ago (yes, even 25 years ago), and where it is now. It's a totally different landscape- always will be. The "good ole' days" are just gone, but there is some room for money and quality of life up ahead- question is who and where...........
I'm not buying 500 airframes at ASA, not for a second. You've got to see the forest for the trees though. Even IF we merely doubled in size, and ended up with 220+airframes, we'd be doing ok. Especially since you're either growing or dying in this business. Hey- I'll settle for 30 airplanes......but something tells me it will be north of that, in the long run. Can I prove it- NO. Do I dine with JA and BH with the inside scoop on things from rubbing elbows with the "in the know" crowd- NO! However, I do see a parent company with money, and money equals options. Hey, for all I know, we get hit by an asteroid tomorrow, life ends as we know it, and we don't get a single airplane.........
I guess we'll just have to hunker down and wait, won't we? But look at it this way crj567- you will have nothing to bitch about in the future, come the fall. Either flight hours stay up this fall, which is equivilent to growth and all the money you care to make, or the flying falls off, and you get to stare at the walls with nothing to do in October, just as it's been in the past. Even if we stay busy, it should be more managable if you want time off- more captains hitting the line..................I'm one of them.
Good things can happen. It is just that 500 planes and 50 states will never happen. Anyone who buys that line is a crackhead.

Wow, That takes the cake on ignorance.
$800 million in unrestricted cash and making wise choices is hardly a pair who cant seal the deal.
