Mesaba: Great Expectations....right...

[saabservant]

It looks like door number two is also a donkey here at MSA.
The fraudulent bankruptcy screwing in the courts is over, the pilots have ratified a survival agreement, with the expectation that the avros will be replaced soon, and now it looks like no growth.
What did we say? MSA will never survive as a 49 saab operator? Think back to when pinnacle was express, with 20 something saabs.
Looks like mair holdings and nwa are going to try it out.
Cannot see any aircraft awards while nwa is flirting with investment bankers specializing in mergers and acquisitions.

Why anyone with a seniority number greater than 200 stays here is beyond me, unless they are committed to their present domicile for family reasons.
All others should get out, or at least try.

I bet you voted YES on the TA and now your ticked because they haven't announced and growth.

 

[saabservant]

voted NO.

Still two appeals to have been settled, and nwa/msa proved they cannot stomach an imposition.

the strike injunction may have been overturned, the world will never know, and there is now a precedent for other judges.

Probably because those aircraft that are "growth" aren't coming for another 6 months. With bombardier only building 50 regional jets a year, it will take forever to get that growth anyway. Your best bet right now is to hope you get those 15 CRJ's, which, as of right now are going back to 9E. Also it was a good move to vote yes on the contract. Without a contract coming into the merger you would have been stapled to someone.

Good point by YPF on the possible delivery rate of new aircraft. I would think there is no rush to announce the CRJ's (900's) because both XJ and 9e (and everyone else) already have thw programs in place. The way I understand it is there is only differences training between the 200 and 900. So how long would XJ or 9E really need once the announcement is made. The Emb is a different situation for obvious reasons. Cya

so 9E will get 15 planes right in the middle of a contract fight....unlikely.....that does not make sense, but then again, its NWA we are dealing with.

 

[xjhawk]

who will get the new planes?

 

[AvroGuy]

who will get the new planes?

the LOWEST bidder.

 

[CoATP]

the LOWEST bidder.

Who will play the NWA game. They are not going to accept a low bid from someone they cannot control.
