I didn't know we started operating the DC-9 at Mesaba but yes you are right it might not be profitable to operate the 900 out of FLL....

We don't know what is going to happen all we know as of now that 10 of our 49 Saabs will be coming off the line at a slow pace starting in Sept. Something is going on because we should be talking about the voluntary furlough by now.

Whats going on is a bunch of head scratching, ball scratching and ass scratching with management. I don't think anything has been decided yet because the darts keep hitting the wall. When one finally hits the board something will happen.

I believe ASA/Skywest owns them. So, no, you ain't getting them.
