MAIR Holdings has to "hold" something to have a reason to exist. What they "hold" has to be profitable to pay Paul Foley's salary. Big Sky is not going to be profitable if owned by MAIR and our scope letter is in force. MAIR is not going to exist if they sell Big Sky.
My opinion, Mesaba gets sold, Big Sky gets sold, MAIR takes the money, gets out of the airline business and buys a trucking company or a restaurant or something! No matter what, WE ARE GOING TO BE BETTER OFF WITHOUT MAIR. Foley may have finally realized that bull**** might get you to the top, but it won't keep you there.
I wish the best to Big Sky. It sucks that you were USED by MAIR.
So why even bother with the scope clause elimination if both Mesaba and Big Sky are going to be sold off anyway? Oh, I think I get what you're saying... If the scope is eliminated, then Big Sky will stay owned by Mair ... If the scope clause stays intact, then Big Sky will be sold off and Mair will be gone? So do you think that all this expansion going on at Big Sky is because Mair is betting on this BS move that they are trying to pull off. Why is it that any contract that is signed between and Union and Management doesn't seem to be set in stone(atleast in managements eyes)?
I guess what it eventually will come to is how will upper management make the most money, not what is the right thing to do.
