You can't kill them, you only make them stronger. Only an act of God, or Chuck Norris can stop the sucking.

HAHAHAHA! Mesa will never die. Despite the bad blood, this industry still needs cheap labor. Look for more CRJ700s and 900s headed Mesa's way.

How many CRJ700s are you guys getting over there again? Another few this year?

Is there a supposed verdict for the Delta/Mesa lawsuit today or something involved witht the overall Mesa bankruptcy?

 

[fastback]

Ouch, that outta hurt.

Sounds like a law firm that wants to be paid in something more real than JO Bucks.

This team of attorneys spent 3,539.15 hours on the matter, generating fees in the amount of $1,374,215.00. (Trial Tr. 93:1-95:10; Def.’s Ex. 151; Pls.’ Ex. 80.) Based on the difficult and protracted nature of this litigation, (Trial Tr. 86:6-12) the work descriptions provided in Jones Day’s billing statements, and the testimony of Mr. Garrett, the Court finds that the tasks performed and hours billed by these attorneys were necessary and reasonable given the nature of the engagement.


~388.00$ an hour, shoulda been a lawyer.

On a different note, Mesa management asked the Union to start concessionary talks....:uzi:

On Thursday, MAG senior management asked the MEC to consider opening concessionary contract talks. US Airways is looking to reduce costs immediately, and in return, MAG would be given an extension to the codeshare agreement that would otherwise end in 2012. MAG management is seeking concessions from aircraft lessors, vendors, labor, and other interested stakeholders in an effort to secure the contract extension.
The MEC was not surprised by management’s request. US Airways has put an RFP out for bid, and apparently, other management teams have approached their pilot groups for concessions in an attempt to gain this business. To our knowledge, all the other groups have rejected such concessions.
After discussing the issue last night, the MEC today informed the company that we were not interested in engaging in concessionary discussions.
Labor is not the problem at MAG; we have a competitive contract. This fact has been reiterated by MAG management. In filing bankruptcy, the company was clear that it needed to eliminate excess aircraft—not reduce labor costs. The bankruptcy proceedings are progressing as expected, and we firmly believe that MAG will come out of bankruptcy well positioned to maintain current business and pursue new opportunities.
The MEC is monitoring the situation closely and will continue to update you. We are also in regular contact with the pilot leaders in the US Airways, United and Delta systems to ensure that we are not whipsawed against each other and/or pressured into taking unnecessary concessions.
Our pilots are our top priority. The MEC is committed to protecting the jobs and career expectations of our pilots, and enforcing our contract aggressively. We paid dearly for our industry-leading scope provisions and have come a long way to secure our place within the industry. The concessions that MAG management is seeking are unnecessary, and—like our fellow plot groups—we refuse to engage in a race to the bottom.

...and have come a long way to secure our place within the industry.

What place would that be?
