I really thought the answer would come today with Mesaba getting the 36 CRJ 900's, but nothing was said. I know they already know who is getting the planes, so why not just announce it so people can plan their lives. Now that they haven't announced it, I feel like Pinnacle might still be in the running for them, and to be honest with you, I just want to keep our same fleet size and let Mesaba get planes back so that some of my friends who are layed off can get their jobs back. The perfect situation would be that mainline would do all of that flying for good rates, but we know that can't happen, so I just hope NWA announces the awards soon.
Be Safe everyone and Have a happy holiday.
wha..... wha..... wha..... on side note that was the most pointless post I have heard lately.... get used to it announcements are never made on time; this industry is a b!tch and despite our unionisitc wishes that every one can be happy and do well, it's dog eat dog out there... So honestly I hope we here at 9E do get the 900's maybe then some of us can upgrade and move on and progress can be made... (btw yes I have had a few and yes I'm grouchy) as for XJ best of luck (but so much for no concessions) if it was me I would have had some bal!s and burned the house down... and on a side note I can't wait until some more mainlines open up.... get on with my life.... but anyways happy holidays to all.. BTW FTROOPPILOT that avatar of yours taken from inside a WB-57X I'm guessing??? did you do some flying for NASA or just an avatar??? just curious......
