I really think this was planned all along by NWA and Pinnacle Management. Lets get these 17 planes flying, stuff them down pinnacles throat, knowing that they wont be able to staff them, then we will take them away and try and force them into signing a contract. Mesaba just recently announced that their 900 deliverys are slowing to 1 per month for awhile, perfect for the delivery of 3 200's per month. "

Would like to hear RJ85FO and other Mesaba members comments on rumors, comments, inuendos, speculation, etc. that this might happen.
Well, one of the earlier posts eluded to this but nothing official. In today’s Star Tribune there was a write up on the possibility. N601XJ and N602XJ were ours to begin with. N601XJ just flew the other day. The other 15 belonged to 9E. Well NWA owns them all really. There does seem to be a lot of newbies going to SAAB MEM? Who knows anymore!! I just show up when they need me.
