I don’t know how true this is, but it was straight from his mouth. He said that Mesa had an excess of 50 seat jets, so instead of letting them sit (and still make the lease payments) it sounded better to operate them for a lower cost. (?) He said that it looked really good on paper but “going there was a *********** mistake” (right out of his mouth).

It's a doggy-dog world.

First off Ornstein is getting a taste of his own medicine. Second, if Mesa decided to pull out of Hawaii it would've left Mokulele hanging... Mr Boyer is just looking out for his investment.
When Mr Boyer bought Mokulele it was nothing more than a tour company with barely running chieftans.... Now 3yrs later he has a fleet of 208's multiple airline partners and now ERJ 170's. If thats not ambitious please tell me what is.... Oh, and Mokulele pay's their employees alot more than Mesa does... I guess thats why Mesa employees are applying to work for Mokulele. :D[/quote]

They pay more than MESA?...realy...lets hear about all the wonderful pay and benifits.

Tough talk from someone who "just finished his flight ratings" on 10/2/2008.

I suggest you become a part of this industry before you begin wishing ill on others, as well as talk down to people who have accomplished much more than you have professionally.
