Answer: Mesa Question: What is a pwick?

Great, not only is JO content on bringing down one countries' aviation industry by running the prick of the industry, he has to do it in another country. Good luck to all Chinese pilots with self respect.

Mesa Air sets sights on China

Tuesday April 11, 2006 Mesa Air Group is eyeing China as fertile ground for new growth, Chairman and CEO Jonathan Ornstein said Friday at a meeting for financial analysts in Los Cabos, Mexico.
"They have a total of 40 RJs in the country," Ornstein said. "It's the most rapidly expanding economy in the world. We think there are some really good opportunities there." He said the Chinese airline industry should follow the US example of using regional aircraft to feed mainline carriers from smaller destinations. "As competition grows keener, the most efficient way would be to develop a hub-and-spoke system. We would do it in some sort of partnership."
Mesa Executive VP and CFO Peter Murnane recently returned from a fact-finding mission to China exploring marketing opportunities and seeking potential business partners. But Ornstein emphasized that the plan is very preliminary and would require years to develop: "We could put some RJs in there, being there first, working with the right people. I think there's a good chance Mesa will be involved."
GE Commercial Aviation Services Senior VP Edward Sun agreed that China does have market potential for RJ operations but noted there are a number of regulatory hurdles to overcome. "Jonathan thinks out of the box. That's what I like about him. He's exploring various ideas," Sun told ATWOnline.
Separately, Ornstein provided an update on Mesa's plans for inter-island startup go!, which will launch in Hawaii June 9 with four CRJ200s acquired from defunct Independence Air. He said he is optimistic the new carrier eventually will strike a codeshare arrangement with either US Airways or Delta Air Lines. He maintained the financial risk for Mesa will be minimal and said bookings for the introductory $39 fares are encouraging. "If we can run load factors in the 80% range, we're not going to lose much money," he claimed.

Well, folks, this about sums up the idiocy of the MBA crowd running the airlines.

Imagine JO thinking he's the salvation for aviation in Hawaii and now China. Ha! The best thing about China, as far as JO is concerned, is that his Chinese slave wages will already be well-accepted.

haha no kidding. If that is what they are teaching, I'm going to go to law school and specialize in bankruptcy law, instead of getting my MBA.

And the cancer of the industry continues to spread, this is getting rediculous.

Um, who do you think is going to fly in China? We have seen already that Freedom can be operated without using Mesa pilots. What makes you think J-Lo is going to employ Mesa pilots in China? NWA already looked at bringing in Chinese FA's to the US operation. I'm sure it would be much easier to get Chinese crews that work for $300/mo to fly those rj's in China.

BEWARE!!!! Due to Chinese accepting cheap wages, I am sure this will be his way to outsource even American jobs to China and on American soil.

What we should do is plant some drugs in his car or kiddie porn and alert the authorities and he never mind, knowing him he'd use inmate labor which is even cheaper.
What a fungus

Oh, I'm pretty sure you can count on that. I bet JO loses sleep about how overpaid his pilot group is now. :erm:

Yes, the brilliant "We'll lose a little on every seat but make it up in volume" argument seems like our best shot to slow down the juggernaut that is the Chinese economy..........
