They are drawn to a scandal that's why...everyone is stealing "their" planes, can't staff them, and they are getting all of the flow, all of it I tell you. A lot of one-sided half truths in their rumors. I have no problem with Envoy being prideful...Lord knows I am at PDT...but don't be full of shat either.

So it wasn't AAG that said Mesa couldn't accomplish the flying they agreed to, it was Mesa that said they couldn't accomplish the flying they agreed to.

Got it.

You have to admit, when the woman from sales told Parker in the townhall meeting that her experiences with Mesa and TSA were "godawful", it was pretty humorous.

You have more FOs than airplanes.

And we aren't canceling flights due to staffing. New CAs are hitting the line every month. 4 from my class have already started or are finished with upgrade training.

In the US Airways system, we had in-range with Acars, only thing we never had was ATIS and PDC over ACARS. Puzzles me why during this merger, they dumped the way Airways did things, and went with a more antiquated system that American uses? Well, I guess the larger pilot group always wins out...
Brand new 900s? I thought they were purchased from Alitalia?

Antiquated? You don't hear Envoy making in range calls do you? Yeah. No. Our ACARs handles that, the PDC, and the weather. Heck our turboprops did that.

Brand new, 952LR, and 953LR.
The Alitalia ones have been on the line for quite some time.

Well cool! Hopefully they solve the maintenance issues!

Ah, so they just reserve the antiquated stuff for the contractors doing their flying.

I said training bubble. I did not say keeping up with the planes. I said keeping up with the training, two different things.
