I’m not just directing these questions to you but everyone in this thread. There has to be more to this unfolding situation that we don’t know. The flying has to be covered and we aren’t talking about a 12-18 month transition this is 3 months out. UA can’t afford to let Mesa go BK and lose all that lift 3 months from now.
I think a lot of what you're insinuating is wishful thinking for Mesa. United and SK have a house to get in order before worrying about Mesa. I have no idea what they're brewing up, but there won't be cooperation from UA ALPA until we have an industry leading contract. We can remove those cards from the deck.
