We've had 2 concessionary contracts, they've given our planes away and stripped us of our name. After all that we are eeking out a better performance of airlines who are hiring CQFO's, offering jobs over the phone, have quick CA upgrades and are growing. Mesa's performance in DFW is abysmal and is becoming legendary. You made a point about overall airline performance and I made a counter point about a specific base and Mesa's failures there. Go back and read my post and stop being antagonistic.
Ok got another counterpoint. We had a base close as well, shifting flying from CLT to DFW and leaving LAX to move those A/C to DFW. With all that we are still if anything posting average numbers.
So yes maybe our performance is terriable in DFW and that is entirely our fault? We are the best performing regional on the United side and as far as AA in PHX we have had no problems what so ever. AMR knows this hence why we are not going anywhere. The majority of our problems in DFW are those god awful rampers and gate agents.
