B) We are still Delta's most expensive wholly owned regional. Why would they want to pay more? Notice all the other "promised" flying being shifted away?
C) Delta still has contracts with ASA/Skywest, Republic, Pinnacle to name a few. Why do we expect that if mesa did lose or go out of business that Delta wouldn't fill its obligations with those other companies.
I'm not trying to tell people the sky is falling, but I am stating not to pin all your hopes on the outcome of this Mesa/Freedom mess.
Have to agree with you. The dust has been settling here at OH for the last 5 years. Broken contracts, broken LOA's, Broken promises, Airplanes, NO airplanes, Reduction of airplanes, furloughs, down grades, G.O. resignations, Concourse C closure, Vague press releases on the future of Comair, etc...I would like to be reminded of ANYTHING positive that has occured here at OH that would add hope or boost morale for at least the pilot group. Reality is we are a shrinking and diminishing debt with the hopes of surviving based on another regional's demise. Even then with so many players, there is only speculation that OH will survive.
