Mesaba Big Announcement on Friday

[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.

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.

7 weeks and we finally get our Big Announcement
