My best friends sisters brothers girlfriends cousins neighbor when they were kids works down the street from a guy who knows this dude who talks to a ramp agent that said CHQ was buying Comair and Mesa is getting 737's. There's about as much factual information in that sentence as there is in the majority of "Rumor" posts you see on this website.
When CAL puts out a memo, notice, declaration...or hell, I'll even take a Citabria towing a banner over IAH...that any of what ANYONE has said is actually going to happen, I'll believe it. Until then, I'll accept that XJT guys on here are ****ed at CHQ, want to call us a buncha names and be bitter. Of course...they're ever so friendly when they need a ride home. Have at it boys.
Friendly or not, the flights probably weight restricted anyway.

Amen, the last hard stand I had as spot 100, right by the door. Other than that its all gates
And if i hear another CHQ pilot put all their woes on XJT because we kept the airplanes and because they get the hard stands I am seriously gonna lay someone out right in the middle of terminal B. Hears the deal folks: XJT told Larry that we were keeping the airplanes on the deadline specified. Larry knew what that date was but he and RAH decided to jump the gun and pick which routes and stations would go to CHQ before the announcement. I know it amused Jim Ream to no end when Larry just about choked on his burger when he told him XJT was keeping the airplanes. And as far as the hardstands, XJT has been using the hard stands for YEARS! If you can explain to me how XJT can use the hard stands and still get out on time with all the people and all the bags WITH ACARS (none of this calling your own times BS), I will give you a cookie.
