Default You can not make this stuff up.

Look at this fine quote:

"While it is disappointing that Delta and Mesa are involved in litigation regarding Delta's previously announced decision to terminate Freedom's Embraer ERJ-145 flying, the delivery of this CRJ-900 underscores the positive relationship we wish to have with Delta," said Mesa Air Group Chairman and CEO, Jonathan Ornstein.

I think losing your 145 flying does not underscore the positive relationship with Delta. What a loser. I wish they would just fold already.

Editorial note: I wish no ill-will toward the pilots of Mesa. It is just amazing that a sweat shop exists in the airline industry.

The rest of the story is here:

One other thing, it is also amazing that you need to put a press release about getting another aircraft that you previously announced. Ha, seems like someone is trying to make his stock look more attractive.

Im sure most of us on here feel that way. Mesa underscores our whole entire profession at all levels. most of the pilots Ive met from MAG however were really cool.

Most of the Mesa pilots my girlfriend meets as a waitress at a restaurant/bar near their crew hotel hit on everything that moves, inappropriately pull their chairs up to other tables, and tell everyone they are pilots.

So yeah, I agree, Mesa underscores our whole entire profession at all levels

Since when does an aircraft delivery of a type that is already on property warrant a press release?

Whenever they feel it will make them look good as a DLX operator, considering the ongoing litigation.

At least we act like pilots have for the past hundred years. If you find fault with that then tough.

Grow up, and if you're going to post about an airline you know nothing about, at least try to sound condecending like everyone else on this site.

He should be more worried about the 100 million dollars in bonds which have a possible early call date of 28 June........
