Mesa pilots walking through the terminal looking like whipped dogs, afraid to look anyone in the eyes or untucked their tails.

The McDonalds at the 30ish gates can't make enough dollar menu burgers quick enough to feed all the poor Mesa FOs. (I hear they are hiring more help for you reserve FOs not being used)

And why are all of the Mesa FAs always sprinting from gate to gate?

I really hope you guys are able to turn it around in DFW, if not it's probably okay because AA won't give you the boot since you own the airplanes.
What's ironic is that you point at mesa. However just look at today's stats system wide.

Cancelled % OVR Delayed % OVR Airline
297 15% 496 25% ExpressJet
133 13% 314 30% Envoy Air
130 3% 629 15% Southwest
92 4% 733 32% United
76 19% 154 39% Spirit
56 2% 309 16% SkyWest
47 8% 166 30% Shuttle America
38 13% 99 34% GoJet
30 5% 145 25% Mesa

I'm just saying.

Don't bother pointing out that there's a tropical storm in Texas where Envoy and XJT operate a large quantity of flights. That's why single day snapshots are worthless.

And mesa does not? That was exactly my point posting a single weather day snapshot with the big 3 Texas regionals. It was a rebuttal to the OP, notice how it was quoted in context.
A little Thick?

I'm smarter than you but that's OK. What point are you making without context? How many of those flights were premptively canceled by the codeshare partners? How many were crew or maintenance related? Those stats mean nothing.

Umm. Do you not realize that United chose which flights to cancel due to a little storm named Bill....

The OP was referencing DFW and AA ops not to mention. He specifically utilized a D-0 of 11%. #FHRITP. Useless crap I don't even care about anymore.

Who are all you guys regularly posting on the Mesa forum when you don't even work here? I mean, I get it when legacy guys with lots of time off and lots of extra money in the bank come in here and pontificate on things, b/c I'll prob do that too once I'm at a legacy and bored--but it's kind of sad and pathetic when regional pilots expend time and energy bashing on each other. Because basically, it's like homeless guys under an overpass in LA arguing about who is using the highest quality cardboard as a mattress, and about who has the best patch of concrete to sleep upon.

I don't care what is happening at XJet/ASA/Skywest/Envoy, etc.. I really don't. I don't regularly troll around in their threads on here. What makes their pilots troll around in here? I don't get it. I've been through mergers and bankruptcies in my decade as a 121 pilot, and I've never once been so unfulfilled, unconfident, and insecure in my life outside of work to even care about what is happening at any carrier other than the one that signs my checks and the codeshare overlord that signs theirs. Get a life, ya'll...seriously.

Expect a lot of dfw fos to be sent to iAd next month

TDY or new hires. I have not seen any realignment from standing bids.
