Can you say the same for performance at MESA??

Mesa's stats seem to match the other regionals consistently. On the UAX side, ground services are provided by another airline.

The big picture is that the regionals must make the "BOSS" happy or they will do what they can to drop us... (DELTA vs MESA ring a bell?)

DAL did not attempt to drop us for performance. They tried to use that to justify their actions. There use of the exact same wording in the notification to drop another regional carrier made the smoke screen obvious.

ITS ALL ABOUT PROFIT vs COSTS, sadly us pilots are a cost that can at times be easly cut. And us pilots sometime just look at the world with blinders when our airline furloughs and just run around like sheep. If someone would come up with an idea to save money, keep jobs, and in many ways to make more money for the company, I know the higher ups would listen...
