And We're Keeping Your Engines too!
Mesa sues Delta to recover engines

Mesa Air Group Inc., a regional airline that flies mostly for larger carriers, sued Delta Air Lines Inc. to retrieve seven jet engines being held "hostage" in a financial dispute.
Without the engines, worth $25 million, Mesa would be forced to ground some flights if one of its 180 planes needs unscheduled maintenance. That, in turn, may jeopardize Mesa's contracts as a regional carrier for commercial airlines, including Delta, Mesa said in court papers filed Aug. 6 in U.S. District Court in Phoenix, Ariz.
Mesa said that the engines are being held because Delta is unhappy with a former maintenance agreement the two companies had until it was cancelled in June.
"Delta has stated to Mesa that it will continue to hold the engines as 'leverage' until all disputes are resolved," Phoenix- based Mesa claimed in its lawsuit.
