That worked out real well as I remember
Lets not forget how volatile mainline owned airframes can be. Didn't Delta give Mesa a few 900's that lasted not even a year before they yanked them and placed them elsewhere? With that said, I wish you guys the best of luck... but the quote of nothing in contract flying is guaranteed should always be respected.
