Lot's of ego between Parker and Ornstein...before Cactus bought Airways Ornstein, with our 300 million in the bank that he has since squandered, was looking to acquire Airways. Like that would have worked. These 2 guys saw one another as competition. Perhaps Parker will have the last laugh. My guess is he probably needs us right now.

Mesa helped bail out America West years ago, we always had a pretty good relationship w/ them...since the merger, things have obviously changed.

We have also heard some pretty wild rumors out west here re: our Dash 8 operation. Haven't heard anythng re: cutbacks and the jet...yet.
