Dude! How much time did spend doing that?

If you're smart you just do this...
blah blah blahblah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah and then copy and paste!

Mesaba Dash 8 FOs used to wear their epaulets backwards too. They were "hand picked" because of their age though. They were also the ones that refused to give up the old red dot wings for the belt buckle. Point is, there is always going to be "young punks" trying to make a statement. Let em have fun, they'll grow up eventually.

The Dash guys were nothing... yea they may have gone 300 kts but they never staggered their way to FL350 like the Avro guys. That ability required astronaut training....
(Extreme sarcasm for the extremely retarded)

Here's a laugh for you Saab guys: I work at Colgan, have been Captain on both the Saab and the Q400. There's usually one guy a month that likes to put in his .02 about the equipment and seat requirements at our airline. These types are usually sooooo proud they're flying the big, bad, sophisticated Q400, like it's the Space Shuttle. (You know that I'm about to ask at this point....) Let's say Colgan offers you upgrade on the Saab in 12 months from now and they don't forsee a lot of Q upgrades, what would you do? The response usually begins by looking at me like I'm nuts, uttering a couple syllables, then catching themselves before they put the Saab down, knowing I've probably flown it. The Saab stamped some humilty into it's pilots and made them appreciate the flying and the airplane.

What the.....Paul Foley at Mesa!!!
CEO Update – October 1, 2008

Mesa Air Group Appoints New Chief Operating Officer

I am delighted to announce the appointment of Paul Foley as Chief Operating Officer Mesa Air Group. Paul brings to Mesa a wealth of operational and leadership experience from his years as CEO of Mesaba Holdings, the parent company of Mesaba Airlines. Having known Paul for many years, I am confident he is the ideal person to bring the needed skills, leadership and oversight to our operations at a time when Mike Lotz must remain focused on the restructure of our business. In these highly challenging and competitive times, Paul will be working very closely with our operational teams and airline partners to optimize our performance and strengthen and grow our partnerships. I encourage you to get to know Paul as he moves about the organization in the coming weeks and I invite you to email him and share your thoughts and ideas.

Prior to joining Mesa, Paul was, since September 1999, President and Chief Executive Officer of MAIR Holdings Inc., a member of its Board of Directors and of the Executive and Safety Committees. From September 1999 until October 2002 Paul also served as President and Chief Executive Officer of Mesaba Aviation.

Paul was previously employed as Vice President Operations at Atlas Air, a global cargo operator of 747 aircraft. Prior to that, he was Senior Vice President Operations at LSG/Sky Chefs. He also served as President of Continental Airlines’ Chelsea Catering Corporation.

Paul holds a Bachelor of Science degree from Cornell University and an MBA from the Edwin L. Cox Graduate School of Business at Southern Methodist University.

In welcoming Paul to Mesa, I would also like to acknowledge Mike Lotz for his considerable contribution to Mesa, especially during these recent very challenging months. Mike remains President and Chief Financial Officer Mesa Air Group. This continues to be a tough situation both at Mesa and throughout the industry. I remain confident however that working together we will see our way through these present difficulties.

Thank you Mike and a very warm welcome Paul.
