Mesaba comming to LAX

[Ridgeback]

Word is Mesaba with be getting VERY big for Dleta on the West coast/QUOTE]

You mean to say that 9E is getting big on the West Coast. The "New Mesaba" flies only props so if it's a Q400 or a Saab it's them. They fly the 900's until Pinnacle Corp takes them away.

I mean sine 9e rode the mesaba coat tails of the mesaba pilots contract I would still call them Mesaba...

P.S. Ther are actually Delta fights operated by mesaba

"Props are for Boats"

to "Props are for Mesaba"

"Fly Pinnacle Jets"

"Fly Pinnacle Jets"

Not for long...how many 50 seaters does Pinnacle have...Phil leaving...fuel going through the roof...Delta cutting memphis by 25%...do you even read the papers...

You better hope you can fly one of mesaba's 41 900's they brought to the merger, or one of the props are for mesaba...

How many times has this been said before?

SFB, the 200 to 900 transition is differences for two planes of the same type. Must be the power went out in your mother basement again.

Yeah, and how many times have the planes gone away? Maybe not for Pinnacle, but Comair and ASA have felt the hurt. I am not sure why you hang on to those 200's as something that is good to have in your fleet. I rememeber a couple years ago after the shamruptcy, I didn't even want the 200's then because I figured they would be the next to be used in negotiations when we went into section 6.

PINNACLE CORP


pinnacle airlines Colgan Airlines Mesaba airlines



Yes we are all under one company and they can do whatever they want. No Pinnacle airlines did not buy mesaba airlines.Pinnacle corp can do whatever they want and hopefully it involves more growth and job security for us all. I just wonder what the deal is with Phil stepping down. No one just steps down when they corporation they built up over so many years was on the verge of being the most successful it has ever been. I can think of three scenerios. 1. family/health reasons -I wish that on no one. 2. he has a very lucrative offer somewhere else much the same way Richards Andersen of NWA/United Health/Delta was able to get 3. Delta/United/Continental was not interested in the performance that he brought to the table in how his philosophy brought about cancelations and delays because of lack of crew availability. I smell the Mesaba leadership and its philosophy in how an airline in ran.

So you were wrong.

 

[bri5150]

So you were wrong.

Not technically. We haven't gone into section 6 yet. Not only that, I was thinking it would be the 15 we had at the time. Obviously, now that they comprise what, 75% of our fleet, they can't really be used as a negotiation tool. Unless, of course, they really want to make things look grim.

 

[RJLoser]

Dude, we're gonna be fine. What could possibly go wrong?

No such thing as Skywest flying. They fly where the boss (mainline) tells them to.

Yep, and so do we all...I just spent an hour and a half on a 9E flight last week listening to the FA tell me how everyone's taking "their" flying...it's amazing how folks take ownership of a freakin' path in the sky...
