SkyWest Airlines - US Airways Express Deal Announced

[say again]

Suggest you check your facts regarding the Embraer comment. For the last 18 months of the Delta contract Mesa lead in every performance category. Flying out of CVG and DTW.

I don't know why I even bother?

Reading comprehension not your strong point?! He was talking about CLT based emb's specifically. Next time don't bother.

What's the story with the "go around is not an option" thing? My memory is failing me, although I seem to remember something along those lines...Can anyone shed some light?

I heard a rumor that under a new SkyWest INC. agreement with USAirways that ASA will get USAirways Express flying out of LGA?

 

[Metro752]

Does US Air have enough slots in LGA for this?

Long story short... Bout 9 years ago a Mesa E145 crew was flying into ROA on a clear but gusty winter night. The Captain's brief stated that since 33's now 34's runway has rising terrian at the departure end that a "Go around was not gonna be an option". She then stalled the plane upon landing. Impact was so hard the engines were bent, and there was skin damage underneath.
She didn't write up the plane or leave a note for the next mornings crew. Then they showed up, preflighted and since it was early morning I guess didn't notice the damage and flew that plane to CLT. That's it...... Kinda....

As for Mesa, I watched one of their mechanics speed-tape a ceiling panel in place on an RJ because it wouldn't stay latched in place. That made a hell of an impression on the 50 of us in our seats watching!

Interesting rumor, especially considering Airways is basically abandoning Express flying in LGA with the Delta slot swap.

Reality check, Freedom had an ultra small fleet between CVG and DTW with fewer flights to operate and hence making it easier to acheive those statistics. Since the massive DL reductions at CVG, its been even easier to maintain preformance out of there.
