DL Cuts All Freedom ERJ's
 

Reported today by Ornstein himself, and in an article on Deltanet, DL is terminating Freedom's DCI contract for 50 seat flying, citing inadequate completion factor as grounds for termination.

CRJ-900 flying in JFK remains intact.

MCO flying as of May 1 operated partially by ASA.

Awesome!!!! BTW...more info in the Majors forum.

interesting

Karma is a b*tch!!

For Mesa pilots (current or considering), this is even more reason to jump ship. Mesa is a sinking ship. UAL has been replacing their flying with TSA and temporarily with XJT. Delta is replacing them in MCO, and now in JFK too (that's about 30-35 aircraft). US Air's Doug Parker is going to drop Mesa as soon as their contract is up. They are selling Air Midwest. GO is losing tons of money. Get out while you still can (and others are hiring).

man ya'll are fast. someone beat me to it. do ya'll think they are gonna take those rjs over to hawaii and pick up the slack for aloha airlines? just wondering.

I wouldn't be surprised at this point, although I certainly hope not. It would seem like a horrible idea to increase capacity in the one operation in MAG that bleeds money. I believe the DL flying was some of the most profitable for MAG; it would behoove them to make sure those airplanes find homes that make money.

Of course, I hope they just park the things and the pilots move on to greener pastures.

Sorry Mesa guys, but that’s what you get for messing with the Hawaiian’s payback it a bi----sh
and I'm talking about the people of Hawaii...................For what Mesa did to Aloha

You mean Aloha, right? I agree with you btw...

or do you mean Hawaiians as in population?

Whats wrong with your face flycrj200? =P

I have a few friends in the Mesa system. They are freaking right now. Felt like a jerk, but I had to break out the "I told you so." Such is this crazy industry we all love.
