#1 - JO has no incentive to give us a better contract. At this point, as long as they are adding new aircraft and attracting new employees, he doesn't even have to offer new hire bonuses. Take the emotion out of it. If you were in a management position, you would agree that there is no reason to concede anything with us, the pilot group. It would be nice if they did, but they don't have to, and they wont until growth stops. When people stop coming, then maybe there will be some concessions on the side of management. Its not personal, its how business is done in a capitalist society.
#2 - Any ideas on when delivery's start?

Does Mesa have to pay for any of the fuel they use on the United side? Complete rumor from an unreliable source but I was told after so much fuel is burned, Mesa eats the cost. True or False? Not trying to start anything but I thought this rumor to be absurd. He was pretty adamant that it's in the CPA and I called BS.
