I agree with you, although this "idea" is cut from the same cloth as the "capacity dicipline/shrink to profitability/cannibalize your own network" one we've been practicing without an exit stratedgy for years. When you burn the furniture to heat the house, the house does stay warm. For a while.

While it appears we *may* have accepted the end of the capacity canibalization quarterly smash gravy train, I could see a 40% chance of us trying this in one form or another. There's always someone standing to benefit from a popup bonus for short term good ideas that end up being bad long term. But bonuses don't have to be given back, do they?

Yeah especially the guy who said he wished he had seen it live. YGTBSM.

It was horrible. Understand members of the crew had wives and kids. Let us hope they will be cared for ... is the operator ALPA?

As is sometimes the case, the losses amount to workman's compensation claims which are completely inadequate for the need. I do appreciate our life insurance and ALPA's inclusion in our contract.

A C-2 Launching off a carrier experienced a similar accident when the load broke free during a cat launch a number of years ago. RIP

Glad your friends are OK. Got the good news on my buddy too. He knew the crew though and said they were all wonderful individuals. So sorry for the families.

RIP brothers

There were a bunch of Mesa folks that knew one of the FOs and his wife. Great people.

RIP buddy. We miss you.

They are not a unionized carrier. I just talked to my friend who works there and they are about to go fly. They are doing as good as they can be right now.

Thanks, glad you got good news also. My friend said the same thing about the crew.

Awful feeling knowing someones wife, husband, brother, sister, dad, and mom had to receive such a terrible phone call.
