No Selling yet of MAIR

Change takes time

Reconfiguring them may take some time. Remember they don't only have to put more seats in, they also have to reconfigure the overhead service pannel. The lights and seat belt signs, as well as add more o2 masks.

I would imagine they would want to bump us up to the 97k limit as well. Sure, it's not too often we hit the limit now (especially with the "purposed" fuel load changes) but I would think they wouldn't want to put the RJ85's into a Saab situation and start bumping passengers when it would only be paperwork to bump us up to 97k.



Also, had anyone else heard about more "top secret" meetings and confidentiality agreements being signed by union reps? I heard it from a guy who knows a guy who lives in Memphis and looks at Mesaba planes occasionally. HE SAID his excellent contacts have talked about more secret meetings and agreements. I kinda hope he's right. Bring on the 70-seaters!

Yes it may take some time, but the 02 masks are already there. There is 3 masks on each side of the AC, even though the whole left side of the plane and First Class only has two seats/row.

Okay, what gives? Northwest misses another payment (save a miserly $1.6 million which they really didn't HAVE to pay) and still, no one selling! John Spanjers, COO of Mesaba Aviation muses of bankruptcy in his comments to the press and to employees, yet still no one selling! At the least there should be some some options going on in anticipation of a dropping stock. What do the "insiders" know that keeps them holding on to a stock with its only real subsidiary (Big Sky Transportation doesn't count) apparently losing half of its revenue feed?!
