Heard OO offered to buy us late Q4/early Q1, but AA had no interest in selling. Also heard OO doesn’t have any desire for more 700s and it’s going to turn into a 175/700 swap once their 20 are in AA paint. Again all of that is worth as much as what the FA heard from her pilot boyfriend who parked in the same spot as DF once.
the earnings call will be interesting, and I think come June a lot could happen. With all those strings and loopholes in Mesa’s new CBA, it makes one think.
im hoping we’re at least looking at some of the European carriers that fly the crj as well. Sure it
might be tedious with compliance checks, but I’d imagine it’s not as cost prohibitive as spinning up airframes from the desert that sat there 5,10, or who knows how many years without moving.
