No prob, bud!
Okay, who is this Ryan Gumm guy from freedom? (Any Freedom guys want to chime in?) Can't be much worse than Soaper! His bio. at Mesa wabsite shows he was a Navy guy, joined Mesa in 2000 on the B1900 and was an instructor, Assistant Chief and then Chief pilot at Freedom. (He was busy in less than 10 years).

LAMA (Life After Mesa Airlines). Met Ryan once while I was there, and I know we're supposed to hate management and what not but he really did seem like a nice guy, real down to earth. When I was there he was the Assistant Chief at Freedom in MCO but none the less seemed to care somewhat about the pilot group.

We've got a couple LAMA's here...(I think H46Bubba is).
Good to know info.

Sooooo, it looks like I should do another tour since the likelyhood of me getting a recall is slim to nil by the end of the year?

Spoilers must have been having a bad day at work...something alot of us look forward to. I'm realistic, but I don't see things as negatively as he does.
Some Positives;
-DAL's push in the STL and RDU markets (thanks Mosquito) and re-opening of Mx in RDU with OH and 9E(?) doing feed is positive.
-CPZ retaining flow-thru/back directly effects us. If flow-thru was dropped, DAL may have been forced to divest of alot of 76 seaters...but it didn't have to be from CPZ, just in the DCI system (translation; we could have lost our -900's)
-DAL does like to waste money (hiring people so you can furlough them), but why spend a ton of cash on transferring to DTW, recalling and upgrading training if they just want to bust us up? They could have just let us flounder until the new year when the fleet gaurantee expires.
-New wings for the f/a's (new f/a's would have been better)
-Bendo seems better than other NG's
-Matt L. seems to be a good MEC Chair
-I had a really good b.m. today
...so things could be looking up!

I just rode the jump on DL on a tanscon flight, and those guys even said there will be an announcement regarding Comair come September. THEY brought it up, because that's what they've been hearing at DL.
But whatever, keep checking those mailboxes for your recall letters
