Mesa Positioning for Chapter 11?

[urflyingme?!]

Wow, who is offering this?

That would be the majors before they bent over.

But Mesa sucks right?

All the airlines suck except SWA.

Comair's CEO has stated publicly a number of times that United has approached us for the flying as well. Delta has given us the O.K. as long as it doesn't compete head to head on any routes. Untied management has also been to our GO touring our facilities.

This is in the news where ?!? Good to see YOU are doing so well. Im sure all the major CEOs are in line to have YOU provide feed for them.

Did anyone else hear that Trans States is getting HUD on all the United birds?

calm down man. Someone stated that United was looking at pinnacle and another guy said skywest should get the flying. Jump on their backs too?? I was merely pointing out the fact that United is looking at alot of companies.

As far as the YOU comments. We obviously aren't doing so well at comair. Mostly do to the fact that Mesa exist at all.

So says JO...

I'd be interesting to see an actual audit of that parts count...which I'm sure would be required prior to any financing.

GE-CF34-3B1 IDG??? This looks like a used alternator off a '93 Chevy Astro-van...

That is funny.

Really? So I suppose you must work for SWA, because otherwise you're working for a job that "sucks" . . and what rational person would waste their lives and their freedom being miserable?

Go back through the posts. My response had to do with a comment on retirement benefits. I actually enjoy my 'job' and wouldn't be flying if I didn't. FWIW, inasmuch as SWA has some great work rules and pays well, I wouldn't be happy working there.

Since you seek clarity, SWA doesn't 'suck' because it's just about the only airline that treats its employees as assets not adversaries. That's a philosophy that won't find its way in to any board room at the majors and certainly the regionals, IMHO.

As for the word 'sucks', it's a tired, over used term that has lost its meaning. It was a bit of a pun on the cliche "Mesa Sucks" thing which dominates the mentality on this board.

I still like this board though. Rock on dude!

Heh. Yeah, I agree. On flightinfo, "SUCK" has lost all meaning!

I actually do think there are some legacy carriers out there that, while not the great places they once were pre 9/11, are still pretty awesome jobs.

I also think that under the new presidential administration, a heavily re-regulated airline industry is not outside the bounds of possibility. For the legacy carriers, this will be good.

Not so good for the flying public, or taxpayer, or future pilot wanna-be's . . but good for legacy pilots.
