S5 Moving to LGA

[Corbon]

I love how people have that come back "what didn't get hired by XYZ". Like Compass is anywhere near the place to work?

My point is, not to highlight whether he got hired or not, but at one point he wanted to fly for a regional airline with "guppy killers". Now he's calling everybody who works for a regional airline which flies the the same "guppy killers", "tards". Just pointing out his hypocrisy.

Enjoy your LGA base!

Too bad they decided to use Shuttle for that operation instead of Compass... NOT!

You guys can keep it!

Oops...sorry, Lynx too

What no love for Lynx?

Without doing copious amounts of research, I was trying to recall all of the RAH brand names and did not in any way intend to leave the Lynx crowd out of the party. I inadvertently added Freedom into the fray which I guess is actually Mesa.
Isn't it interesting how the regionals are essentially controlled by three big entities, RAH, MESA, and Skywest, yet operated under a multitude of brand names and sub contractors. I guess when you throw in a few of the little guys like Comair, mesaba, transtates, pinnacle, expressjet it's enough to make your head spin.

For the Hawaii market, Mokulele has spent some major advertising bucks touting the comfort of their leather seat jets in comparison to the go product or even the HAL 717 ride. If they abandon the 170 it will be a MAJOR shift in their marketing and play for the interisland market. It used to be Aloha and HAL dueling it out with 737's vs DC9's in Hawaii, now it's HAL vs everyone else in the locals minds. I don't know, but HAL seems to be doing a very good job of holding its own against Mesa and Mokulele.

Pinnacle is about the same size as the entire Mesa Air Group and Express Jet is about the size of Pinnacle and Mesa put together. The DAL owned and controlled trio of Comair, Mesaba, and Compass are even bigger than Express Jet. The Mesa Air Group is a relatively insignificant player on the regional airline circuit and yes, they do still SUCK!

Well thanks....

Thanks "doinTime", I was not aware that Mesa was so small by comparison. They receive so much press you would think they dominate the world.
The DAL trio goes to make my point, in what other industry would a company operate three seperate companies doing essentially the same job, simultaneously if not for the express reason as to compete the labor against one another internally. If the contracts were universally standardized for being a pilot, you have to believe that DAL would instantly move to combine all regional units under one roof, or even roll it into the mainline operation. But because each contract is individually agreed upon, and RFT's are floated to get the costs down, they instead find worth in operating several companies with major redundancies. All of that redundancy is coming from what could be paid to employees with no net cost increase.

I hope HI crushes them and breaks BB's bank. I bet you have some RAH E190 guy out there wishing they take that thing there so they could "Kill some guppies". They have nothing but tards working there. I hope they enjoy the Ramen noddles and color tv at the Motel during overnights.

Annnnnnnnnd YOU'RE FURLOUGHED.
