This week Mesaba will announce a deal to fly 30+ 44-seat CRJ's for NWA.

Trust me.

And tell me, all knowing one, how did you come about this info?

 

[Towelie]

No doubt. Can you see it now? The first growth Mesaba gets in years will be announced on April Fool's Day and no one will ever believe it.

Great.

 

[schmitty340]

That just about par for the course.. would you expect anything less from this donkey show we call an airline.

Trust me.

This might be legit... There's a board of directors meeting tomorrow (3/28). And I heard that we WILL be hearing something by the end of the month... Everything's falling into place, Smithers...

"I actually heard this from a NWA guy. NWA wants us to be the Regional Launch Customer for the A380 but because of scope, we're only putting 69 seats in them. The upper level will actually be outfitted as a bowling alley."


Actually they will put another fully loaded RJ in the upper deck thus getting around the scope Brilliant I say

D

We will see if new planes come to XJ, The people that work there have several let downs in the last few years so nobody will believe it untill the airplane is parked in the hangar and is on the ops specs. it is just another let down

 

[captpetefam]

Ah, yes... wise man once say...

We will see if new planes come to XJ, The people that work there have several let downs in the last few years so nobody will believe it untill the airplane is parked in the hangar and is on the ops specs. it is just another let down

"Believe NONE of what you hear and only half of what you see."

When I was up in YUL this early, Spring morning, I saw a Q400 AND a CRJ with NWA Colors and Operated by Mesaba painted on them. The best of both worlds... Oh, wait; maybe it was just the affects of my 4 YUL high-speed in a row. Forget it.

I once knew a CP that was into "trainspotting" Is this the one??? (XJ MEC)

Uh, no... no trainspotting here. Maybe Geocaching once in a great while but that's it. Even that I have to do on my layovers.

 

[Napoleon TNT]

As vowed....BUMP!!


Friday April 1st.... First day of the new fiscal year....

Sounds like a VERY good day for an announcement!

 

[redflyer65]

Another bump........FIVE weeks and counting!

 

[redflyer65]

Six weeks.

 

[Towelie]

Here's what I don't understand.

The company and union were/are talking about "something." The company is playing dumb, the union has said they were/are talking but are still under a gag order.

Assuming it's been this long and nothing is going to happen, why don't they at least say the deal is off?

I honestly can't believe it takes this long for something good. I just don't get it.

 

[RampTower]

7 weeks and we finally get our Big Announcement
