1) Nothing good ever happens at PSA.
2) They don't need more 200s and anything bigger can't come on board without USAPA's blessing (too many big little jets, or something like that).

Maybe they are reviving the Do328 program? Naa, that would be growth. Maybe they are trading in the 200s (35 of them I think) for the 328s? Oil is hanging at over $80.

Who really knows?

Is that how many DHCs they are keeping after the merge? Sure hope those guys don't mind flying a Turbo Prop. I will say I think the DHC will do a little better on the V1 cut in CRW... I think after the V1 cut in the dash you can still get off oh.. I don't know maybe at A2?

Well since more than half flew the Dork, and quie a few flew Jetstreas, Emb T-props, and shorts, I don't think we'd mind. I know I wouldn't, I miss the sound of beta.

And as far as CRW there was no V1 cut, as both engines were operating, and the abort was started at 15 or so kts above V1.

Good to know they won't mind, I don't think the same can be said for some of your FAs I recall a gate agent thought a PSA FA was working our flight.. The FA was disgusted and said "I don't work on those THINGS.."


Out of curiosity what is PSA's T-prop pay rates?

I talked to one of our union guys that said he heard it to and is watiting for conference call with them to see what they say. I think that's about how many 900's that mesa has. So who knows....just thought it was interesting that 4 people texted me that latest rumor today.

We also got new briefing cards with 100/200.....can't wait til people start running with that one again! The -200's are coming, The -200's are coming!!

...and Airways still isn't flush with cash. I think the balance sheet lists only $1B in unrestricted cash and "cash equivalents." More planes at PSA means LCC gave somebody money.
