So what's the deal with DL and Mesa 900s?

[OCP]

Is Mesa actually flying them? The Delta website says that they are.

Yes. Freedom...which is a division of MESA.
Wehave 6 now and 8 more by start of 2009.

the ones parked at C are pinnacles'...those with the "PQ" tail number are theirs. Freedumbs are operated out of JFK, for now. JFK-ORD, JFK-DFW and maybe a few other city pairs

I know how to tell them apart, thank you very much. It was a Freedom one. Don't know what they were doing there but it wasn't Pinnacle.

2 airlines.

1 that couldn't staff it's core business last summer (NWA) and subsequently paid NWA over $1million in charges.
1 that can't staff it's business with UAL, or USAIR yet somehow starts feeding DAL.

How does this happen??

ASA is arguably the most profitable airline in the Airline industry. It IS the most profitable in the Regional ranks.

Really....And over 5 years in to a contract that was over 5 years ago, and we should be the best?

Let's see how Mesa does with their contract.

ASA was in bitter contract negotiations for 5 years that spilled over into performance numbers. Since signing our numbers have come up. Also our only base is ATL which can be a performance killer.
