two whole airplanes!!!!! We're rich! I'm glad the company took a gamble in viet frreaking nam so these planes lost us millions of dollars but now we get to fly them!!!!!

^It was 4....

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

 

[Ops check good]

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.

 

[AntiJedi]

Who is your source?

My source is neither of those.

Okay, so OO started classes again. Whoopee! That's backfill. A scheduling anomaly of 1x daily to a handful of cities out of CLT is hardly reason to restart the training juggernaut.

Wipe the drool, geez!

Wow! Judging without knowing my views. I don't want them. I want to move on. More planes here means less opportunities in the future. Just stating the fact that management/SAPA has to legally lie to anyone if asked.

My appologies... I guess it was just the way I thought it read. My mistake.
