I think this is the 3rd or 4th time he's done this.
As far as I can remember, MEA has never been wrong. He is indeed a prophet. He does not declare the end is nigh. He simply tells the truth about inside information that he has access to and is willing to share. His posts are the only thing a guy can take to the bank from this forum. I enjoy reading what he has to say because it is a bit like looking into future. Like I said, to the best of my knowledge, he has never been wrong.
My experience with this company would also lead me to believe that the Bus will go as quickly as possible, but I imagine the process will take many years. That is just my opinion. MEA has probably been in a meeting actually discussing such things!
The bigger question for Alaska pilots in the future is this. Who is going to fly the State of Alaska and what aircraft are they going to use to do it - once the 700 NG is retired in a few more years?
