Mesa's performance in DFW is horrible. AA is very upset. I doubt the 7 900s will end up there. I know you guys are cheapest. But AA is finally realizing what crappy product they get for cheap. 16% on time!! Rumor is they are going to cut contracts with them and give planes to other American eagle operators with reliable performance

You can't give planes WE own to other companies.

Congratulations!!! You're the tool of the day. Breakdown the 16% on time performance? You can't!!! Envoy ramp crews and gate agents are responsible for almost 90% of the delays. My source for my numbers are Mesa mgmt. what are yours?

I can't vouch for DFW but it's crystal clear in the LAX operation. Envoy ground crews and gate agents are apathetic towards on time performance. They don't care. They will delay a departure to wait on three extra bags. They wont close the door at ten prior. One day while doing the preflight walk around, the ground crews were just standing there trying to figure out which bags to load because they weren't sure which destination we were headed to.

Well actually 90% are MX. My sources are the gate agents and your MX crew. Lol. I know lots of your guys. Short on crew and almost always MX delays

Since when would gate agents ever have accurate delay info?

In DFW you guys park at the B40 gates. They are almost exclusively yours. The issue is too many planes. Not enough gate space. You guys have 8 or more planes delayed 30+ min for crew or MX. And the inbounds can't park until the outbound gets cleared. It's sad that all DFW doesn't like the Mesa operation. Rampers and gate agents say you guys are a nightmare to work with. Apparently very rude. That's the gate agents take. Not mine. Writing is on the wall AA is not happy with the performance #s. Just stating facts. My SPECULATION is that planes will start leaving and contracts cut short

Nah xjt won't get anything until a contract comes. Although mgnt claims 20 upgrades/month now and they are in talks with mainline to extend or gain new flying.
