Not opinion, but real evidence that can be quantified and qualified, objectively showing that Mesa Air Group is not only below average, but "the worst" of all of Delta's regionals. You could start by even telling us what criteria you are using to judge all of these carriers: on-time performance, revenue generation for mother Delta, brake wear, smiles observed on mechanic's faces as they are doused in hydraulic fluid on odd #'d Thursdays after consuming poultry, what?

If you don't have the data (considering you've made about 350 posts over the last 16 months and not once posted any objective data, I'm guessing you can't substantiate your claims), then please reconsider future pontifications on the subject.

The general consensus of JO is agreed upon, but some of the comments on this thread appear very much like their authors are wishing ill-will upon their fellow pilots. Please separate the wheat from the chafe, the well-being of your fellow aviators from that of the actions of their management.
When I first responded to the thread labeled "Mesa Wins" yesterday asking for substantiating evidence (aka Press Release/Media Coverage) one of the moderators chimed in that MESA stock was up significantly (more than a dime) and that this evidenced something happened.

I would argue similar evidence is present here in regards to public opinion. When consumer satisfaction is rated according to the DOT Freedom is not reported.

When passengers buy tickets these tickets say "DELTA" not Freedom. When passengers complain they list "DELTA flight XXXX" not "Freedom flight XXXX" on their comment cards. It would be nice to always be incognito, but when you get down to it, Delta has internal tracks of what is going on and what level of service is provided. They would not make that public because of the negative publicity. They just have to overcompensate for the mistakes of their DCI portfolio.

AND upon further investigation MESA Airline (I think just Air Midwest DBA "Mesa Airlines") was evaluated and didn't do so hot in 2007(not to say everyone else did that much better): http://eventplanning.about.com/gi/dy...ts/2007aqr.pdf
