Good job PSA

The term sheet also includes a reduction in the rates paid by US Airways to Mesa to operate those aircraft.

I wonder if the other US Airways Express carriers will now get to compete for more flying at the same reduced rates?

Maybe its Mesa thats more of our WO'ed Brother then PSA.

Just when you think the downward spiral can't get much lower . . .

Mesa Sucks!

 

[ex j-41]

Us airways needs those airplanes flying. They were never going to give Psa cash to go out and buy new ones. They just wanted Psa to give a rock bottom price so they could go back to Mesa and negotiate. Psa did us airways a big favor. And in return got 6 more days of contract negotiating. Not a fair trade IMHO.
Only 36 people at Psa could see this tactic. Far too many had wet dreams of flying a heavy rj.

At some point you need to fork out the cash and hire a lawyer to copyright that phrase, or else it will end up public domain.

Don't forget that your new "brothers" will fly a Dash for a lot less money.

So, it's starting to look like instead of being liquidated and simply going away...Mesa got more support from US Airways and is being positioned to further lower the bar. Is that about what it amounts to?

You can bet on that. Typical Parker, you're going to have to take a pay cut but..............ummmmm yeaahhhhh(office space) you're going to need to work harder so I can get my obscene bonus. What a piece of #$%#@%@ sh!t. Thank goodness I don't rely on that place for a paycheck anymore.

Yup I believe a few old timers at PSA have been quite upset that they aren't seeing that 90 seat machine roll into DAY.
"We gotta bid low to get the planes on property, we can renegotiate the rates in our current negotiations"

Looks like the boys got played like a fiddle. Agreed to substandard rates, which was used against Mesa I'm sure, and STILL extend their contract negotiations.

Would it not have been a little smarter to explain to them, you want 900 rates, we want a contract. here....let's deal. Instead it's....Oh Oh Oh ...we need these rates right away or the planes are gonna fly right by. Excuse me, but it looks like they needed the rates right away 'cause Mesa wasn't playing with lowering their rates, as they were competative. As soon as US got those PSA rates, they faxed 'em to PHX and walked into JO's office...."Check mate"

Oh ya....not sure when it happened....but some of your psa boys, should think twice about starting a jump seat denial campaign....kinda stupid.
