Air Wisconsin signed instead, and was replaced a year later by Mesa. You can argue all day if it was a smart move, but at least they drew a line below which they refused to go.
But it’s okay because it “supersedes my furlough letter of October 1.”

Anyway, the good news is, I did get the Airbahn letter!!
