I dunno if you know 405, but Freedom has lost the Delta contract. Those planes are owned by Delta and are going to be operated by other carriers. If those 14 planes are reassigned, there is no net gain in the 76 seat fleet. I don't think Mesaba is any more special than Pinnacle or Comair. I'm just saying that the numbers don't lie. Something is going on that is requiring even more pilots than anticipated. FA numbers are also being increased and now all of a sudden we're hiring saab and CRJ sim instructors as well as ground instructors. This is not normal operation for status quo.

This could all very well be just anticipation for the flow to start again. But it just seems rather odd that there is such urgency in this matter.
