Mesa and Delta...It's official

[General Lee]

Having numerous regionals in the stable has obviously worked wonders with US Air so Delta decides to muddy their own waters even more. Good luck DAL, ASA, CMR. Ya'll gonna need some soon.

Thanks for the insight Dodge. You guys will probably have another regional in the Airlink ranks too. Enjoy the whipsaw.


Bye Bye--General Lee

Apparently you don't even understand your own lawsuit. Read the suit again. It doesn't say what you are saying above. It refers to all scope that restricts the flying of another airline. That means that if you win, Delta will be able to transfer any flying to anyone they want. And guess what? They won't be transferring it to you, they'll be sending it to Mesa. Johnny O.'s been wanting to get his hands on some 737s for quite some time now. Maybe your silly little lawsuit will help him out. Wouldn't you proud of that accomplishment?

PCL, excellent observation. If N didn't realize it before, he's an idiot, if he did then he's a liar.

This is just F---ing great.

There's even a guy on this board with the username InclusiveScope. After all these years do you have any clue just what that means?

Neither does he and neither do you. The RJDC lawsuit doesn't mention inclusive scope, or define it. It just simply seeks to eliminate scope.

You see sentences such as your misguided quote and spin it to say the RJDC is against all scope.

The quotes not misquided, it comes directly from the RJDC lawsuit. The idiots who support the RJDC and the relief section which asks for an injunction against ALPA scope protections are misguided, I'll grant you that

You should probably understand exactly what you're arguing against before you waste your time here.

I do understand exactly what I'm arguing against, you either don't understand your own lawsuit or you are intentionally being deceitfull.

STOP with the lawsuit----**CENSORED****CENSORED****CENSORED****CENSORED** it is getting so old----

And Say Again

I think the american people are tired of the CEOs making a shi& load of money and then the company goes up in smoke--THEY ARE SICK of it

MCI, Enro,DL MGT.-LEO-United,

Tell me what ALPA as done that is so so great these past 2 years...ummhhh ummmhhh NOTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So who cares what is lefted of Alpa.....We can represent ourselves just as good....

 

[scarlet]

Dont worry Delta has just shot them selves in the foot and now ASA and Comair are worth nothing...

DL=Bank...... will happen before long...

 

[scarlet]

MESA what a great company to work for--people there don't even tell people where they work.....

The reason the "Freedom" certificate is being used by Mesa is that Delta's scope doesn't permit any larger aircraft to be flown by a code share partner. Thus, the CRJ9 flying that Mesa is doing for HP on the Mesa certificate, would have been scoped. That is the reason we are using the F8 certificate.

It is going to be an interesting time flying for DAL wherever they use us. I'd put bets on JFK. Personally, I'll stay on the UAL side in DEN. You guys have fun with our new Mesa guys in town.

BTW - the rampers are almost always outsourced because it is a good deal for both carriers. You guys get more for pushing Mesa and we retain flexibility to move as the code share partner requires.

I don't know what your issues with Mesa are but I can assure you, we'll be happy to see you.

???

Says who?

I tell people I work for Mesa...of course I have to explain that we are America West Express - United Express - USAirways Express - and now Delta Connection.

Regarding the new contract with Delta...it's great news!

actually, you are wrong. That used to be true, but is not the case with our new contract. Mesa can fly a CRJ900 for AWA, as long as it is not flown for Delta or on a Delta route, there is no problem with our scope.

To address your Mesa EMB 145 fleet question - I'd bet that the EMB-145's that Mesa is currently using will end up a dead fleet if US Airways goes under. Rumors have been circulating that these EMB-145's may go to Eagle along with our options in exchange for their 700's and their options. Not sure - just speculation.

I asked our MEC within minutes of the announcement and that was his response. Interesting. I wonder what JO is up to with the use of F8? Hmmm? The plot thickens.
