The planes didn't lose us millions; investing in that operation did.

Arm chair CEO at its finest. You dont even know how many airplanes they used but you know it was a bad idea?? Get a clue guy, they would not have done it if they thought they were gonna lose money.

 

[urflyingme?!]

Sorry I listed the number of aircraft wrong. Definitely a worse sin than losing a few dozen million dollars!

Looks like more than 4 planes coming. From the flight schedules seems to show we will be flying to (starting in August):
ABE, AVL, AUS, BHM, BUF, CHS, CVG, CLE, DTW, GSO, MDT, BDL, IND, JAX, SDF, MEM, MYR, BNA, ORF, OMA, SAT, SAV, STL, IAD, and ILM.

Sure sounds like a lot more flying is coming and a possible CLT or east coast base. Doesn't sound possible to flow crews and 4 aircraft to all these cities.

Hmmmmmmmmm....

Looks like 1x daily for most of those cities, so it's theoretically possible if they're timed right. It's just going to be hell if a plane breaks.

Just got word that these are errors in the schedule. These flights will still be operated by Mesa.

AntiJedi,

Who is your source? If it's OO management, or SAPA, they can't legally say that it is OO due to nondisclosure agreements that both have signed. OO just started classes again. Just don't know where they will get the airplanes, unless they can swing a deal to use 200s until 900s come online like they did with Alaska.
