But I do believe you are correct that sometime in last 6 months he said something along those lines. 3 presumably were already our own aircraft and will be for Delta. Our 3 Company painted E170's are being reconfigured and will fly exclusively for Delta now rather than being spares. The other 12 aircraft I believe will be the 12 E175's we gave up to United during BK that management didn't think they would be able to staff and that UA placed at Mesa. It is my understanding that Mesa has most of them if not all of them parked due to not being able to staff them.
Love your understanding about Mesa. We are up a net 129 pilots on the Ejet side since the first of the year (according to our public filing with the SEC). All 60 of our aircraft are on the flow board and flying.
