Will comair get mesa's flying?

[on autopilot]

Your thoughts please. If not who do you think will?

Nobody will...

 

[79%N1]

No, because Delta is not going to "buy" anything from Mesa. Delta will not put out capital to purchase anything to give to Comair, seeing how Comair is a subsidiary of Delta.

I do agree with the above post that nobody will.

 

[goahead]

That'll be some of the RJ reductions for DAL this year, not gonna help anyone out.......

 

[CX880]

ASA will.

 

[brokedash]

DL has made it known the need to greatly reduce 50 seat RJ lift. There not going to replace F8 as it is excess. They'll move on to the next slaughter victim. Eventually DL will consolidate regional feed and have fewer carriers operating 700/900/E70 aircraft and one or two will operate what 50 seat lift is still required to fromer Saab stations, off peak flights, maybe some P2P and smaller focus cities.

 

[UnstableAviator]

Exactly. There is a market for 50 seaters, but that market isn't EVERYWHERE like it has been the last decade.

 

[SBD]

No one getting that flying. DL wants to greatly reduce 50 seat market.

 

[CRJ puppy]

No one will get this flying. Delta has made it clear that they wish to reduce 50-seat airframes within the DCI fleet. That was the reason they wanted to cancel this contract in the first place.

The only slightly positive effect that this will have is that it will reduce the pressure from other carriers (temporarialy) to remove more airframes this year, and possibly next.

Even in recent recurrent groundschool Q & A's Bendoritis (CMR pres) has made it clear that a Delta win in this will not create "additional" flying for any carrier within the DCI system.

Sorry to disappoint anyone, but that is the reality of this situation.

lets hope Delta gets their flying back

But the true question is... does Mesa still suck?






MESA SUCKS!

 

[SLUF4]

Didn't Freedom operate some 900's and DHC8's up in the northeast for Delta? Or does this ruling not concern those aircraft? I don't have the energy to read that whole document.

 

[ohplease!]

lets hope Delta gets their flying back

its still "Delta's" flying..always has been...its just that some people who shall remain nameless felt a little (uh-hmmm...a lot!) too good to do the work....so DELTA found someone else who was willing to do it....and it ISN'T "coming back 'inhouse'"....

Now, move on to the next subject and don't make the same mistake again...for the good of everyone...

 

[N813CA]

Either way. Maybe less flying taken from Comair. Still a win win for Comair.

 

[N813CA]

Comair might get some of it from what I am hearing, but no additional aircrafts. Just utilize the ones we have more.

 

[General Lee]

Obviously I hope all 50 seaters go away and mainline gets more of the flying back. You know--remove 5 RJ flights and replace them all with 1 DC9 or MD88. But, if someone does have to replace some of Mesa's flying, I vote for Expressjet. Those guys did a great job in SLC and LAX. Maybe they can come back.

General Lee or should I say Idiot. Delta has been wanting to have less contract carriers. Not more. Go dig your self a hole.

You're right. Get rid of Freedom and Comair. Simple as that. Maybe Compass and Mesaba should take over, since they have a flow up.... All y'all have a good one, ya hear?

why do you think Expressjet has anything to do with Delta now days? Now that their "mother ship" is merging with United? Guess you will have to change all your signs all over the place now that you are the second largest airline......

And you are at the 19th, I mean 20th, I mean 24th.......and falling. Expressjet is a contractor for MONEY, and would fly for anyone so they could pay the lease rates on their planes. But, you are right, forget Expressjet. I will focus more on two stellar examples of up and coming regionals that will hopefully gain more share of DCI traffic and then have their pilots move up to mainline: Compass and Mesaba. I think they are doing a great job, don't you think so? And, DL may become the largest airline in the World again if they somehow merge with a certain West Coast airline with Hillary Clinton on the tail. You just never know....Have a great one!
