mesa gets 14 crj-900's for delta

[John Pennekamp]

So much for the rumor that DL was going to fire Mesa for poor performance.

 

[XPOO]

This shouldn't be a staffing problem at all for Mesa, right?

 

[Flyer1015]

After they sell off Air Midwest, and the 140 or so pilots are forced over to Mesa, then Mesa's shortage will be "fixed" for about 24 hours. Then it will be back to same old same old.

Sorry to hear ASA is not getting them! But I am happy they are not going to Comair!

Your such a d@mn idiot. It would be far better for CMR to get them than for MESA, regardless of how you feel about CMR - but then you probably don't understand that. Would someone explain it to him.... but use small words so he can understand it....

 

[Hovernut]

You said it, Joe. This guy's hatred of OH is bordering on the clinically insane! I sincerely hope he's NOT an FFDO!!

OK, I'll try.

Skywest, Chautauqua, Continental and Mesa aren't servicing Delta for free.
If Delta used Comair, then Delta could keep all the profit.

Every dollar that goes to a Mesa shareholder or Republic/Chautauqua shareholder or a Skywest shareholder or a Continental shareholder - that is a dollar not going to a Delta shareholder. That dollar leaves the property forever and is no longer available to Delta pilots to negotiate back into their contract at some point in the future thus diminishing your bargaining leverage.
Your MEC and ALPA did that to you.

To shoot yourself in the foot is one thing but to shoot yourself in the foot, then boast that your smelly foot had it comin' is just retarded.

But hey, look on the bright side - he passed the Delta psych eval!

What does that tell you about the Delta psych eval? Think 737Pylt, Generally, FDJ2, Bill Lumberg, Archie Bunker...

Well said. Don't forget the downward pressure put on EVERYONES rates - yes even Deltas - when Mesa gets these planes. We can chock up another one for the "how's that brand scope working out" file............

Be careful 64J, you will end up on the "BLACKLIST" with me......

Don't worry, as soon as its out of BK Delta will sell Comair. There's a good chance Mesa will be the buyer. The games are just begining.

At that point, CMR will become the equivalent of Freedom II, another alter ego for the Mesa pilots and it follows, the Comair pilots.

Doubt it. Highly.

Even if a merger happens, the lists WILL be merged, and it WILL be one pilot group. Scope language in our contract, and we're both ALPA to boot.

Would be an ugly fight as a certain CEO picks and chooses the crappiest part of both contracts to follow.

!!!!! This dang industry sucks!!!! Will the next whore please stand up?

I don't get it...when you come on the board and say stuff like that aren't you talking about yourself and co-workers as well as your company? Seriously, I don't understand how or if you think of it like that or if you somehow just pick up a paycheck and think that is the extent of your invovlement.

Just curious, I read posts like that and find myself bemused by the comments.

We've been hoping for ExpressJet.

Been riding between Cincinnati and Newark on them a lot lately and it's a fine operation. Reminds me of Comair before Delta bought us.
