Did Mesa lose their performance numbers while their CFO was eliminating more porn on their computers? According to DOT, Mesa reported the following for all their operations:

SEPT 07 82.8% ontime 1.72% Cancelled Flights
OCT 07 78.3% ontime 2.34% Cancelled Flights
NOV 07 76.8% ontime 2.85% Cancelled Flights
DEC 07 61.8% ontime 7.06% Cancelled Flights
JAN 08 68.8% ontime 6.50% Cancelled Flights

No more data beyond January 2008 exists on the DOT website.

I agree with the General. I am sure that our legal dept has been all over this as well as every other DCI contract. They are a very thorough bunch. I am sure that there is something in there that allows DAL to do this.
All I have to say is awesome. It sucks for the pilots, but Mesa has caused so much trouble in the last decade it is nice to see Karma rear its ugly head.

Seems like the Mesa legal department is the busiest group in the company.

Does that include Freedom or are those Mesa's (YV), I couldn't find F8 on the DOT site

well, i would think that if mesa's big civil penalty to the Hawaiian lawsuit crippled them, another lawsuit designed to weaken them financially could put them in BK court. they really wouldn't have the funds to fight it.... that is a legal strategy...to paper the file...deplete the oppositions resources...force them into surrender... just a thought.

This is no April Fools joke. The same story, all reliable sources.

It would be interesting to see what Mesa's paying out in legal fees right now. Nothing against the Pilots at mesa. How much of J.O.'s crap before the BOD pulls the plug on him?

Delta has said multiple times it intends to bring down the number of connection carriers to 4 or 5 to better control the overall delta product. Who goes next?
