[yahooair]

Of course they want to buy another airline. They want to own all the regional feed in the country so they can start dictating price to their mainline partners instead of them telling us what we will be paid.

That's smart

 

[Fubijaakr]

Yeah, its QX. They're already getting the CRJs.

I think piniacle already has them bought...anouncemnet soon

 

[suupah]

I hope SKYW buys horizon and gives pncl some competition on the Q's on the performance front not cost. That will force PNCL to fix their cranial rectal inversion of a mx reliability program and maybe actually please customers and flight crews.

And you know this how?? You don't have the first clue as to what Jerry wants to do with his business. I know it's awfully lonely over there in Hanoi, but you really need to find your way back to reality. Jerry doesn't want to do anything to rattle the cages of his major airline masters. He will however continue to squeeze you and your fellow pilots for everything he can get. I hope you are not getting too comfortable with your 7 & 9's. Last I heard from a friend in ATL was that your ALPA guys tried to ban the company from even stepping foot in your building, how's that working out?

It's common sense, speculation, a wild ass guess, etc. Sorry I hurt your feelings. I see you're new around here so I'm gonna cut you some slack. Welcome to flightinfo!

Oh, it's too cheap over here in Vietnam to be lonely very long

Not new by any stretch of the imagination, just haven't frequented the commuter boards in awhile. I've got a renewed interest in ASA these days, so I thought I'd do a little reading. I just get a kick out of the optimism of some of the ASA guys that they are going to get anything from Jerry.

What is that supposed to mean?

Is it any better working at Skywest than it is at ASA?

I work at ASA and have great equipment to fly, a pretty good management...even if they can't seem to get some things right, great crews to fly with.

What's the problem?

Pinnacle can't afford them. Delta had to finance the Mesaba purchase.

 

[TEXAN AVIATOR]

Hasn't this same thread been started like 5 times in the last few months. Why would they want crummy Mesa? Why would they want to buy anyone else right now? And even if they are, it's all speculation no line pilot knows what Jerry is up to.
