Do you know what ACARS is? Because Mesa doesn't have any on their aircraft. Which is why all their out/in times magically show up as on time.

I need a condom for my head. Because I feel like I'm being mind fu**** today.

Mesa "is" ACARS.....wow. Slap me sideways.

Do you really feel sorry for those 25yr CA's having crappy schedules? Just wait till those juicy 5 day trips show up. They had the chance to flow to AA but instead, they decided to ride that gravy train that was L-Eagle. I bet half of them are regretting their decision.

Good Luck!

You realize that was you just a few months ago? Riding this puppy into the ground, eh RJ Pilot, eh? How's that GV operation going? Have you convinced a single person you actually do that (not counting the time playing FSX in your mom's basement of course).

Ask me if I've upgraded yet!

How do you know they don't use ACARS? As far as I know they do. I never hear them on the radio calling times/fuel. I've also jump seated on them multiple times and while I wasn't specifically paying attention to any ACARS use they certainly weren't doing any manual W+B. The fact that your post contains incorrect information makes your whole rant seem pretty asinine.

Good info. This is what I was getting at. The Mesa planes and maintenance staffing are having issues. It's not rampers and agents causing multi hour delays and cancellations.

All Mesa aircraft are equipped with ACARS.

That must be why Mesa clogs up Ops frequency in DFW calling in-range from 200 miles out, then again on the ground to report their times. Oh, and don't get me started on clearance delivery. DFW has never seen the clearance frequency as busy as since Mesa arrived.

I'm sure they are doing all of that for their health.

What you're referring to are different features of the system which you, clearly, don't understand very well.

Enough with the thread dealrail... Carry on.

So whatever it is Mesa has, it's not a proper ACARS. Especially when you guys can make up whatever out/in time you need to show on time departures and arrivals.
