Thing is that doesn't fly with me. I'd just as soon work at Home Depot then flow down to a company owned by HK. If they want to kill any part of the flow, then 76 seaters will be parked.
Don't both parties (DALPA/MGT & MSA's MEC) have to agree to that...I can['t see Mesaba's MEC keeping around the flow if it doesn't benefit them...I'de rather see them get rid of it if it came to that...

The 900 is more efficient than the 175...but in any case if I was at Delta and with age 65 coming up i'de want the flow to go too, coming to Pinnacle or Trans States isn't the best flow down scenario
