It is very hard to win one of these injuctions. There must be enough merit to warrant a very costly trial.
Maybe they will now settle and pick on Comairs 50 seaters. I am not wishing that but, this should be a good sign to all other contract carriers.

Yeah, that's what you want, a settlement. YOU'LL still be unemployed because DAL (if they settle) will just park the airplanes and give JO some of his profit. That way they save fuel and operational costs, part of which is your salary :eek:

I see some ERJ's going to china...

Let's see. Aloha case is coming up, your stock sucks, no one is going to lend you any money and DAL will drag this out until you go under.

And JO will walk away into the sunset. Where does that leave you? On the street. By reading your posts I think your qualified to flip burgers at Micky D's OR Wendys. Your choice.

I was thinking more of White Castle, he has to work his way up to the other fine establishments listed.

No offense, Pdub, but I don't really think this is a good thing. I'm glad you're not on the street against your will, but the longer Orenstein is in this business, the worse off we all are. I hope you find other employment and JO rots in hell.

Yeah because Pinnacle and Mesa are cut from such a different cloth..........

You want leverage? Myself and 90 other pilots showed leverage we we all quit last march. You are showing you are the drunk redneck's dog that loves to be kicked and starved. Keep Living the Dream buddy! At least you can keep telling the girls you are a Delta pilot for a few more months.

Holy Friggin' Cow pdub20s, what are you smoking? What exactly makes you think we have ALL the leverage? Even if we did have ANY leverage whatsoever, do you think this worthless MEC is going to do anything about it? Heck, our MEC chair is probably out playing golf with JO right now....or doing "other" things with him.

You've got to be kidding.

If Mesa pilots hold a strike vote with the stock price in the tank and after an unprofitable quarter, they just might demonstrate they have the cojones to actually "kick azz".

I don't see it happening. No one else here does either. This is the reason Mesa pilots are the joke of the industry. Not the backpacks, not the hair gel, not the "boards".

Mesa pilots are a joke because they're union labor that refuses to play hardball because they're afraid they might lose. So they take the scraps that JO gives them and whine about how everything is everyone else's fault. It happened last time around, and it will happen again this time.

To quote Braveheart "Men follow courage."

Oh c'mon on, give Pdub a break! He probably was so happy he spilled his Schaffer Light on his stupid Abercrombie and Fitch "Save a cherry, pop a collar" t-shirt. So after he walked to the local Duds and Suds, he scraped enough change together to grab one more drink before he walked to the library and used his privileges to sign on to the internet to spew this garbage.

Or he could just be a TFK who doesn't need the money, just wants to fly them jets.

Either way, MESA SUCKS!!!!!!!!!

You hit the nail on the head, Soverytired. It is sad, but very true. The funny thing is that everyone seems to grow a pair when they are safely in the confines of the crew room or the cockpit.
 
My 2 cents....It seems like all of the non-mesa pilots talk like they created the industry and mesa rueined it for them but yet they themself have done nothing. One question for you then...have you ever been on strike with your job at risk? If so speak freely you deserve it!!!!, all you other bandwagon losers grow up and shut up until you grow some balls of your own and can prove you actually sacrificed something of your own to help improve the industry. The only people I know that did this recently are the comair guys of a few years ago, and this does NOT include the present comair guys hired since then. I am still waiting for you to give back something....besides your big mouth. Skywest has screwed ASA, Midway, and soon Expressjet, so you guys are not any better right now. Yeah you can control managenment, go on strike or do a sickout.... Same goes for any airline. Rather then talking trash about the mesa guys why don't you try to help them understand how better everywhere else is and do something productive for once....Support your fellow pilots to save this freaken industry!

On strike with your job at risk? There haven't been any strikes since Comair, but there have been a few near strikes. Either way, nothing since 2001 to my knowledge. There aren't many 2001-era regional pilots that are still regional pilots; and the ones that are probably aren't on Flightinfo. The question is what groups out there would be willing to take it to the picket line? No one will know until it happens (or almost happens), but I'm pretty sure it's not Mesa.

If they did I'd be right beside them on their picket line, though!

Exactly what makes you think that DL won't cancel your contract anyway and pay the fee? They don't want the flying anymore. It's not being replaced.

I wouldn't get too comfortable. Hell, nobody at any regional should get too comfortable.

There is a lot more bloodshed to be had.

Because even DL can't write a 500 M check
