Has anyone mentioned on this post that........ Me$a $uck$?
Heard that Mesa will get the 319's and fly 'em for $80/hr. AA will then kick ass with the help of Mesa. Merger will soon follow, with Mesa stapled![]()
Heard they're talking a minimum of 50 airplanes, and the version I'm hearing is that PF was telling people working at SOC that the planes will be flying in American colors. Not sure the type... been hearing likely possibly 50 and 70 seaters. The 50-seaters would presumably be subleased from AMR, while the 70s could be additional flying for AMR.
Also heard rumors of Spirit starting something at Gateway and speculation that something might be happening there with Mesa. Who knows.
Next question... where will they find pilots to fly them? We'll see...
Something is definitely up at corporate. JO has been shuttling back and forth from DFW and appeared to be upbeat about our prospects. I'm just waiting for his offer of more flying as long as we accept 86 seat pay for 100 seat aircraft. Then I get to watch my union fold like a cheap suit.
Good times.
Delta is the one that got rid of Freedom, they went to court over it. Delta paid lots of money to get rid of the 50 seater over at Mesa side, and you think Delta would hand it right back to Mesa?
Delta got out of the 50 seaters by canning Mesa. They saved a fortune. It wasn't primarily about performance, it was about capacity. It was nothing personal and I wouldn't be surprised if they were back in bed with each other in less than 12 months.
