Mesa Wins the Triple Crown - This from 3/11/11 Aviation Daily

[rene]

My point was and is. Mesa is changing..... Mesa is performing better than Mesa has ever performed and better than other regional's are performing. Oh, BTW because of high seniority Mesa has the highest paid pilots. It seems to me that many of you just want to live in the past.

Rene, who will Mesa get in bed with next? In a shrinking market with fewer code share possibilities, who will it be? Gonna use that that Sprit windfall to finance new aircraft?

Get over that high seniority pay.......mr Chris.

I hope the mesa pilots ask for change of all of you in management.......you should pay mesa and not get paid...you stole enough...now you want pilots to take paycuts? are you f---- Kidding me.

Lets not forget IAD and ORD.

Did you notice the word "Most" in my post when refercing PHX/CLT? IAD/ORD have less YV flying than that.

Remember, it's cyclical. In the mid to late 90s, YV was humming along too. Growth, mainline partners doing well, then it nearly all went away. I remember sitting in that conference room in FMN with mgmt telling us that they had about 6 weeks worth of cash on hand and hoped that some upcoming changes would work.

The growth again, then slide back down, this time to BK.

So, good for them for showing improvement but don't be surprised when the bottom falls out again.

You are one bitter person sniper!!!!

Wait till acars is installed.

The next downfall of Mesa will be management not taking the upcoming pilot shortage seriously and Mesa will self implode.Mesa pilots being the highest paid!!...not hardly. JO already said an industry leading contract was not going to happen.

JO can be replaced...The good old days are gone.

New BOD and JO is on probation. You heard that from me.

Mesa will be sold.

That would be the best thing to happen, not just for Mesa employees.

It will be the best thing for Mesa Employees indeed.

FACT.....
Mesa's Scope was recognized during the BK by all parties and new owners.
Scope kept mesa from coming out as an independent outfit.

I thought mythbusters already proved that you could "polish a turd"

Is the turd Express Jet?

Then your management did good job and were able to sell you to Skywest

Acars

Wait till acars is installed.

Acars is installed in all UAL aircraft, and almost done on Airways. I am curious to understand how ACARS will impact passenger complaints, or mishandled bags? These are the other metrics where Mesa's performance has improved.

 

[CLARKGRSWOLD]

yea acars, that isn't hard to beat, close the door and drop the brake.

This is waaaay before your time...but we had jonathon here.and booted him out...guess we see where your roots are from eh?

 

[spitfire1500]

All those airlines you listed went into BK because of 911 and the economy. Mesa went under because of J.O. unable to run an airline properly.
And he is still at the helm.

PSA Lifer? Sure hope not.

Those airlines all went into BK because of mismanagement!!

Not really before my time. I was at Florida Gulf when you had him. Your company was and is still a turd....do you remember PFT?

So, are you a PFT product of COEX then?

Ya, the golden era only lasted about 4 years, 2005-2008.
