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.
Right! and all of the "regional" carriers would go belly up. That would be THE perfect situation. SOme of your friends at mesaba getting their jobs back?....hmmmm . don't you think that it would be more appropriate to get the jobs back of NWA pilots first(i.e. the REAL airline and the only reason mesaba exists)? CRJ 900's? I hope you guys are all gonna be happy stuck at the "regional" level, because the more 170's and 900's there are, the less 737's and A320's there are....get it?
