No, Kip, I don't wonder why people rip on Mesa. I was pitching my arguement to jetjock on why I think we could be the cheapest airplane to operate in UAL colors.

My feelings toward Mesa are no secret on these boards, and I'll be the first to tell you what a **** bag JO is. I have never stood up for any part of Mesa except for the members of our pilot group. Never once our contract, union, mx, BOD or brass.

Don't confuse an arguement about efficent the dash is, with an attempt to sell Mesa to you guys. I know better.

This all sounds a little to convienent. Where is this RFP? Does anyone have a link to an official press release. Just curious cause there sure is a lot of speculation but no one can provide the proof United has released the RFP.

The reason it's "public" here is because some AWAC pilots feel it's good to air the company business on public forums. Probably not the smartest thing to do. Compete to win folks.

Yeah I agree... that wasn't a real classy move. You don't see anyone else from any airline posting company emails do you?

My personal favorite though was the guy who posted the UAL clause in its entirety.

Although you do kinda have to blame the company, it's not like they can't expect people to post on forums. Hell I'm guilty of it too.

Im surprised that mgt at any company would reveal who and what RFP's they are bidding on. You can bet AWAC is not the only company bidding on said RFP.

I don't think they want more 50 seat jet lift.

That'd be me.

We're not talking about the Colonel's 11 herbs and spices here, we're talking about a scope clause, for another airline, in their pilot contract that is widely available elsewhere on the internet.

Why folks happen to think its some sort of secret, or why that info being disseminated would somehow weakens AWAC's position on this matter, is beyond my apparent means of understanding...
