Mesaba sucks

[kmox29]

Not to change the subject, but it seems like some of the Mesaba crews have been grumpy lately.

If they were Saab crews and it was warm outside, they probably were suffering from heat stroke. I know I usually fly around in a daze of vague ambiguity due to my neverending heat stroke.

Not to change the subject, but it seems like some of the Mesaba crews have been grumpy lately. I don't meet them personally, but I do cross paths with some of the Saab 340 crews on the runway at some of the non-towered airports I fly to.

Everything going o.k. over there?

I'm not trying to start anything, just wondering what's going on.

Winter starts on Labor Day for the MSP folks.

Glad to hear that you guys at Mesaba are finally getting those long-awaited CRJs. If you would have asked me, I would have thought Mesaba was never going to see one on the property. It was about time that the 'ol wait to upgrade finally started shortening. I was there 4 years before I jumped ship. Quality of life just became too important for me, and luckily I was able to make a change that worked out.
However, I do miss not hearing animal sounds on Co. freq!
Take care XJers.

Yeah and they should scoop you right up with 1500.

That's actually a little high for Mesaba's taste. Thay like em' real green, right at 1000.

What's the latest on the delivery schedule? I thought they were supposed to get their first one in the beginning of September. Are they still saying revenue flights at the end of October? Any word on the initial routes? Any information would be appreciated.
