The take away from all this, is that this is new to Mesa, the airplanes belong to Amazon and the contract dictates that Amazon can pull the airplanes at their will. Which is that same clause they have for all their other partners. If Mesa screws it up, you could end up without a job over night.

Atlas crashed an Amazon 76 and they still have Amazon flying. It seems like cost efficiency drives the train at Bezos Inc. so the bar is set pretty low to keep flying as long as a company can do it cheaply.

I’d appreciate if you wouldn’t jump to conclusions on the Atlas crash. You don’t know what the official cause is. Nobody does.

We are still putting together the proposal. No aircraft are on property.

It was an amazon aircraft that crashed while Atlas was operating it. What part of that was drawing conclusions?

You said “Atlas crashed”. There has been no official release as to the ruled cause.

You can say a “plane crashed” with out insinuating a specific cause.

Yea..he said “Atlas crashed”, not “a plane crashed”. He’s insinuating Atlas was the cause.

It’s arguing semantics.

Still, every week I check to see if there have been any updates on that crash. The NTSB’s silence is deafening, and as time goes on the narrative that’s gone around seems more plausible than anything.

It is I’ve been waiting on updates on that one and the CommuteAir crash this winter.
