I made my prediction based upon the loss of the Delta ERJ flying that WILL happen. I also made it due to their lack of company value and lack of cash.

Also, don't you find it funny that Mesa operates
10 Dash-8's for United
20 CRJ-700's for United
45 CRJ-200's for United

and after United states they would like to get rid of 50 seat jets and replace them with larger, more fuel efficient airplanes, United issues an RFP for:
10 Dash-8's
20 CRJ-700's
20 CRJ-200's and 10 Q-400's (slightly cutting the number of CRJ-200's, while trading some for larger, more fuel efficient planes).
In your opinion, how quickly can we spend nearly $40 million in cash, since that's roughly how much we've brought in since May 1? This is the reason I think were doing better (and I use that term loosely) than everyone thinks.

The difference between UAL and DL is that we are hitting our performance numbers. I know because I'm getting the bonus checks every month.

UAL would have to pay a substantial amount of money to get rid of us, since were performing to the standards of our contracts, that are good for 2(Dash-8) and 4 years(CRJ).

Why would they get rid of the most effecient airplanes they have flying? Our dash-8's are that.
