And for educated business decisions. Let's see now. They buy piece of crap Saabs for a South Florida operation??? C'mon, anyone with an ounce of brains knows that's a bad idea. Let's face it, they're the same old airplanes from Mesaba with a new paint job. No APU in Florida?!? DUMB!! Drop the codeshare with United? Brilliant!! Fly 1900s that look worse than a 135 night freight company's planes? Outstanding. GPUs broken going on 6 months. Dispatchers that barely speak English and don't have a clue where the planes are?!? Unbelievable. Yeah, this place is run by a bunch of geniuses!
So you cry when you dont have the seniority to hold the seat or base you want but then talk smack on the guys that have stuck it out here for better or worse and deserve the spot they have?
Stating that the Saabs are old Mesaba planes is no revelation. Since Saab doesnt make planes anymore they are somebodies old planes...
They know the 1900's are crap thats why they're going away. But as they do you'll cry about the downsizing.
Standing alone in FL was brilliant. They'll have a foundation of flying that doesn't rely on another carrier or EAS. Plus more opportunity to fly with other carriers...
Your gonna fly a regional jet in south FL where the average flight is less than an hour / below the flight levels and spend how much in gas so you can have an APU?
