Mesaba to get 900's and Q's For DELTA!!!

[SplitBar]

Hey... just like the Top Gun slot belonged to Mav and Goose all along, even before Cougar lost the edge and turned in his wing .... so did the 17 CRJ200's belong to XJ.

Look, I wasn't looking at a debate of which jets belonged to who, I only wanted the facts. So 49 SF340s, 17 CRJ-200s and a total of 36 CRJ-900s in a few more months. That was the answer I wanted, thanks.

Still pedaling this bull? Your are still completely wrong. Check your history. Again. Tool.

Aaron? is that you causing trouble again? Why start a rumor without me?

Mesaba WILL be receiving Freedumbs 900 flying.
The new XJ ATL Base will be just as big as DTW in 12-18 months.

I heard XJ was talking to SAAAb about starting production of the SAAB 2000 again and that there was talk of 200+ on order

Nice try. Right now the focus for Mesaba is preparing for our ATL base and ramping up our 76 seat flying out of our new hub. The focus on the turboprop market will be down the road. The SF34 is serving its purpose very well right now in its current market.

:laugh: Don't think so...we're talking about a company that won't even paint the aircraft-when the merger is done we'll just put a Delta sticker over the "Northwest" part of Northwest Airlink rather than paint'em.

Personally, I'm a little scared by all of this. Remember, before the bankruptcy when XJ was supposed to get all those 200's they were hiring like mad-I almost took a job then. Glad I didn't. Furlough started after what, 150 got hired? Don't think it's beyond this company to hire for flying they don't even have yet.

No worries! That's why I had the blue laughing guy at the start of my reply...thought it was a humorous post.

SEVEN - you're pretty certain about this Freedom stuff huh? Sources at another 900 operator are saying things that contradict you.

Which 900 operator are you speaking of?

 

[flap operator]

Pinnacle, but of course it could be rumor like 90% of this garbage. It's just that you sound as though you're 100% certain about XJ and these planes, when many other pieces of the equation aren't adding up.

I know the Crew Trac message says 1 line for CVG but, I was talking to ST in MSP today and he says if you look at the schedule for the CVG flying in OCT its about 4 lines. Has the TYD been posted for the ATL guys?

Someone on airlinkpilots mention that, on Deltanet shows Pinnacle operating 3 of Freedom's former 900's. I don't know if that's true or not.

 

[DoinTime]

It no secret that in September PCL operated 9 lines of time for Delta with 2 spare aircraft for a total fleet of 11 airplanes (which is what we have).

In October we were assigned 12 lines of flying from Delta. You do the math.

How do you have 1 line? Even if you have max days flying (6) in a row it would be biblical .... "On the seventh day the CRJ900 rested and it was good"

 

[DoinTime]

Our contract requires a minimum of one flying line in any domicile. Almost all of the CVG flying will be sourced from ATL pilots. The company wanted a few reserves in CVG so they had to make one line to be able to call it a domicile. Every indication is that CVG will close in 2-3 months.
