Doesn't Mesa STILL call in their times?


NOPE. Mesa has been the best on-time performer for every single one of the last 13 months. During that entire time (and longer) our times have been called by ACARS. Sorry to ruin it for ya, but its legit. Mesa pilots get the job done, like it or not.
 
Let's have a lil fun and compare:

Mesa Airlines currently operates 77 aircraft with over 395 daily system departures to 87 cities, 33 states, Mexico and the District of Columbia.

SkyWest Inc.
- approximately 3,990 daily departures and a fleet of approximately 722 regional aircraft.

Yea sure is easy to pad the stats and declare to be the best with ONLY 77 aircraft. How many aircraft is Mesa losing in the next year from the fleet? Everyone knows it's only a matter of time before SkyWest Inc grows in PHX, and rumored to start usairways flying in clt. Plus that 900 contract had no guarantees to be renewed. Besides comparing Mesa to any big regionals that have core ops in the busiest hubs and still declare Mesa the "best" is laughable. Can u take your "best" ratings and get more flying and better wages from Orstein? Yea right.


It's all relative. SWA operates more flights and they have a better ontime than SKYW. Explain that one ?

SKYW can have the broke a$$ 200 PHX flying with crappy APU's, your customers will appreciate it this summer

The 900 contract is in force till 2015 with 3 one year options. The flying is here to say.

Wages. Full XCLD PAY, block or better leg by leg, full line gurntee. Our scope clause is worth it's weight. No whipsawing against other pilots groups. ( if that day shall come )


Bases in ORD&IAD
BTW CLT is quickly becoming PHL of the south, horrible airport to operate out of.

SWA whole operation is based on avoiding the congested airports, and not flying a hub/spoke operation... That a good enough explanation for ya?
 
Now look into the other 99% of their operation...[/QUOTE

Let's dumb it down for ya then, Mesa has more flights in phx
than skywest and performs better. Mesa has more flights in clt
than any other regional and still performs better than any of them.
 
which begs the question, WTF did the majors let go of scope then, geez get a clue willya

So they could get paid closer to their worth on the planes left for them to fly. This leverage would not exist if people didn't fly 100 seat transcon jets for 25-35k/yr MAX.

Ya might want to check your comprehension skills smart guy... the comparison was with Southwest Airlines vs SkyWest, not Mesa! Try reading again, maybe if you read a little slower you'll figure things out?
P.S. Hint, read post #22 by your buddy Clarksworld!

A For example, the most junior first officers have been on property for over five years. THE TIMES.

And your point is?? At almost all the regionals, our First Officers have been at their respective airline for over five years. Nothing unique there. Move along...
