Don't be naive and think that us hear at SKW or those at XJT are the only ones who are guilty
BTW, Slaphappy was the only SKW poster who thought we would get the NWA 900 flying. If you look at my postings you will see that I have said many times that Mesaba should be award the flying. After all that was lost you guys deserve some movement in the right direction and this is a start.
With that being said, my fiend at NWA who is also a pilot at SKW and sleeps with Lisa Nowak said that SKW, XJT and RAH will each be receiving an initial order of 3 Discovery Challengers to fly connections to the International Space Station. Source closest to the president said they need to reduce cost and since the regionals are willing to bind over for the majors then maybe we can get in line with a little lub as well. LOL
Seriously, GOOD LUCK GUYS!
My apologies...this post was not directed at you in particular, i know you have been a class act...it was more towards people like, well i dont want to name names, but saaboroski or whatever he calls himself...you know what I am talking about. I love you guys at SKW, some of my real good friends are there, just didnt want to get the XJT'ers all excited by isolating them, might make them feel more powerful than they are, but yes Mesaba is my airline, and thankfully it is time to get back in business.
