It's nice to see someone finally showing a profit during these troubled times.

Perhaps MESA management should take some notes from them on how it's supposed to be done. I hope they continue to make profit the rest of the year.

Well, nice to get some good news today. Now if we can figure out what to do with 17 planes and 100-some-odd pilots, we'll be set.

It's easy to show a profit when: You don't buy your gas, Sell your tickets, and get paid only to take off and land, with or without people on board.

Very true. Too good to me true though.

There were a lot of us salivating at the idea that RAH was going to buy Mesa (that rumor circulated 2 different times last summer).

I would have gladly taken a hit in senority to have a more stable future.

I was this close to coming to RW in Feb, and a very tiny part of me still wishes I had.

Best of luck to you guys, I'm confident this is just a bump in the road for RW.

No it isn't. Mesa isn't doing it.

Kind of a harsh comment coming from a SKW dude.

Don't revel in the downfall of your closest competitor (for the best regional around).

That increase in profit year-to-year already includes some of the hit from losing the F9 flying as well.
