Hi this is John Spanjers and today is Thursday, May 17, 2007.
Mesaba takes delivery of XJ901 next week and each of you should be very
proud of your role in making this milestone a reality! Your commitment to
safety and operational excellence has been critical to securing this new
business – thank you!
In a show of appreciation, we’re very pleased to invite all of you and your
families to an event June 2 in Minneapolis to celebrate new beginnings and
the CRJ900. This promises to be a good time – you’ll have a chance to tour
Mesaba’s first CRJ900 and we’ll have food and activities for everyone.
I also hope you’ve had a chance to take part in our employee contest and
submit ideas to name XJ901… we’ll reveal the winning entry at the event on
June 2nd. More information about the contest and the event is available on
MyMesaba.com.
Don’t forget to check out the photos on MyMesaba of Mesaba’s 900s at the
manufacturing facility in Montreal. It really is amazing to see the aircraft
come together from start to finish.
We’ll update this number again next week. In the meantime be sure to check
out MyMesaba.com for other company news in the meantime. Thanks for
calling.
The name of the new aircraft is "Soaring Eagle". Apparently that is what Mesaba means. Anyways it just flew in yesterday to MSP.
