psacowboy,

That avatar is funny as #ell....

Can you make the same avatar for the Do-jet? We should paint that on the side of all the Dorniers at PSA, Skyway and ACA...

Just look at that after 9 years PSA pilots bring home $2 and change over the Mesa Flying Club.

The PSA rates are concessionary, giving prior to PSA entering bankruptcy with the rest of Group. What was mesas excuse?
 
Re: Re: Re: Yeah,

that kind of attitude is why every pilot at mesa will push hard to make sure you guys get nothing but the big fat stapler if and when we decide to buy your little company

:) have a nice day:)
 
All of the finacial analysts have been telling US Airways to rid itself of its W.O. Regional Airlines. The cost is too high, and they need to free themselves of these costs.

Read more on ALPA merger policy and then take that stapler and stick it up your arse.

And don't worry, quite a few of us would just as soon quit before having to sit next to any of you in a plane.

OldMan,

I have to say that I've read a lot of articles, but not one was an analyst saying that Airways has to get rid of its WO regionals. Could you perhaps provide the articles or memos.

Now I will agree that analysts have said that Airways needs to get costs down (which they have done and continue to do), but none lead me to belive that the WO's have been a drain on the Group.

Now since every contract carrier is making money off the Group, that would indicate to me that contracting seems to be a bigger drain than the WO's. Remember, that the WO's profit stays in the Group.
 
I doubt PSA would be sold off. Unfortunately, my friends at PDT and ALG may not be so fortunate.

amen brother,
unless of course there was some way we could bring the company down and ruin JO
 
Go over to www.usaviation.com and read the USAirways forum scope relief thread.Chip Munn,USAir A320 Capt.who claims to have the "inside scoop" (but he's often wrong) said this:
"Expect ALPA to grant EMB-170 and CRJ-700 scope relief shortly, which could permit 25 CRJ-700s, destined for PSA, to be allowed to be flown at PSA or an affiliate carrier. In addition, the EMB-170 may receive relief to be flown at a US Airways Express affiliate carrier, with the likely candidate Chautauqua Airlines.
In addition, ALPA will permit the aircraft identified above to be flown with a 50-50 J4J split, versus staffed 100% by APL pilots.
In return, the company may commit to a minimum MDA EMB-170/175 fleet plan.
These negotiations will remove all obstacles to "spin off" PSA, which will permit the company to pay down the loan guarantee and obtain ATSB EBITDAR relief. Moreover, GECAS has committed to finance all delivery positions unless S&P lowers the credit rating from B- to C+.
Finally, some time in the 2nd quarter, Allegheny/Piedmont could be "spun off" as well.
These moves will improve the company's financial positions, liquidity, loan guarantee restrictions, forward looking debt service, maintain feed/a revenue stream, and eliminate potential corporate combination scope issues. In my opinion, Mesa Air Group or Chautauqua will be the bidding war winner for PSA, the RJ delivery positions, and Allegheny/Piedmont. Furthermore, this will consolidate RJ operators to three companies, MESA, Chautauqua, and TSA.
Respectfully,
USA320Pilot"
