and don't get to high and mighty about your little 900,, god i can smell the sjs here, and it makes me want to puke!!! even the 900's delta is making us buy will serve hot meals in first class, dual fms, hf radios, all the bells and whistles.. thing is the pinnacle pilots did NOTHING TO GET THESE PLANES.. we didn't take a pay cut, we didn't sign a concessionary contract, we didn't fall for the bull and WE STILL GOT THE PLANES!!! imagine how much better your life would have been if you didn't take a concessionary contract, you would have still gotten the planes once they bought you guys.

i agree. mesabas future is bright for the next 5-7 years. but come contract time things will change like they always do. just look at 9e's and xj's history with nwa and you will see the cycle is the same every time.
