Very simple..... The smell of jet fuel, always does it for some of us!!! Okay back to the original topic of Mesa's AWA Exclusive deal.

You want someone to pat you on the head and tell you it is ok? No, not going to happen when kids cannot go to school next semester, mom cannot get that surgery she needs for her back, and you have to move out of the house you lived in for 20 years because the dirt cheap $1500/mo mortgage at a very low rate is too cost prohibitive with all your other obligations taking more priority.

Boo Hoo. You have no problem dishing it out but when it comes full circle you get defensive.

"forever"?!? Keep dreaming kiddo! It is no secret that not many tears will be shed by the Cactus group when YV is sent on its merry way in the near future... hope JO has a contingency plan besides their life line of AWE feed that will NOT last forever.

Not trying to flame - just making a point. If by "group", you mean pilot group... your tears or lack of tears has nothing to do with management decisions - an unfortunate reality for all pilot groups. But maybe by group you mean management group at Cactus. Which one do you mean? I hope you're wrong because that would mean liquidation for us. I just want to keep my job and move forward someday. I'm sure if you were in my shoes you'd want the same thing. I wish the best for you and your family - love, health, happiness, and wealth. I mean it. Cactus Rules! but I work for Mesa.

Does that still stand after the merger? Who knows, but based on the history I certainly would not bet your job on DP extending the contract after 2012. Ask a cactus pilot next time you meet one, they should know what noises DP has been making lately.

The 900's are the only reason DP would renew mesa, so it probably depends on how useful those are and how hard they would be too replace.
