The saab can make money again if new contracts are made, both pilot groups will eventually merge, and 5 codeshares to choose from for one company. In this crappy economy, I'd almost call it safe, lol.
Yes...but NWA is going to merge it doesn't look good when the two contracts you have end up coming together and being Delta who doesn't want you to fly for them...that doesn't bode well when they decide who they want their regional carriers to be when this mess is over. I heard something along the lines of Delta have 700 RJ's to play with when it's all over, yyou think they will need that many, the first to go will be the inefficient 200's i wouldn't be surprised if we (Mesaba) lost them
