When are the Saabs leaving at Mesaba?

Any speculation? Lets face it, there's better airplanes suited for the same type of job that offer lower seat mile cost.

Like what, a Caravan?

Its really too bad the Saab 2000 was a victim of timing :uzi:

Lower profile hotels...

Yeah! One floor, door to the parking lot, equipped with a shovel in the winter, keys on the counter at 12 midnight, room door unlocked anyway, BUT, probably the cleanest room you would ever stay 4 hrs in.....any guesses?!

The Bates Motel CMX - ahhh, the memories.

Also the winter drive into the Soo Quality Inn.....

and donuts in the parking lot, midnight visits to the casino etc.... PRICELESS!

I just don't miss those prime locations anymore!

You know what they say... when NWA retires the last Airbus the crew will deadhead home on a DC-9. Add to that, when NWA retires the last DC-9, the crew will deadhead home on a Saab.

They start refurbishing the Saabs in the near future. Paint, cabin interior, and some work on the cockpits. Lot of wasted money if they dump them in the near future.

Yeah but they also did this to the Avros right up until they sent them to the desert.

For some reason I always slept great there. I don't know if it was the fresh air, or the thought of the yummy cinnamon rolls in that Tupperware container sitting out for us. . .

God I hated highspeeds.

What, no more pink Saabs?

Shine it up a little, a two bedroom and living room with a mini kitchen with stove and oven. Now all you got to do is bring the super sized lunch bag and presto. Oh yeah and if your looking for something to do on the longer overnights, not the highspeed, you can count the number of bugs in the ovehead light fixture in the bathroom. Praise the lord they have a bar there. You can hang out with the UPers.
