Yeah, let's get it over with, so JO can be a two time loser. Oh wait, he already is a loser.

I am glad I don't work for that hypocritical whining sleezebag anymore. It sure is nice to be watching the show from my LAMA chair.

As always, I encourage Mesa pilots to get out from under JO's rule and see the light. He is a labor crunching corrupt man.

R.I.P. Aloha (Passenger side) and the best to those who lost their jobs there.

Remember where it started

Yea, RAH is too busy taking down the Midwest pilot group right now.

That was a low blow. Whether or not our management is trying to take down Midwest can be debated. I do not see why. Since we do not compete with Midwest, it just does not make sense. The way I see it is that our company in trying to make a buck(all be it on the backs of the Midwest pilots). Idle planes are worthless planes and RAH is trying to get those planes flying. RAH found a way to make that happen and unfortunately, we got in bed with Midwest.

How do you figure? Try backing your statements with something substantial.

1. Did RAH approach Midex or did Midex approach RAH?

2. Did RAH make the decisions for Midex to pull aircraft?

3. Did RAH tell Midex what % of paycut to ask from it's pilot group?

4. How long could Midex have lasted without the cash loan from RAH?

I haven't seen you make any sort of intelligent post yet. If you don't have the knowledge to answer those questions then I'll just add this to your already distinguished list.

Do you ever get tired of adamantly defending RAH any time their name is mentioned on this board? Your views are well known and apparently not shared by many others, and you're about to derail another thread.

I'm not defending RAH for anything. I'm not for this so don't go putting words in my mouth. If my views were well known you'd know that I don't like it. I just haven't seen mking have any relevance to any post of his yet. Those questions I asked I don't know the answers to. If he does then I'd like to know. If he doesn't then he's just full of it. What's wrong with wanting accuracy and not some personal smear campaign? So far seems like most "ranters" are mad because the RAH management accepted flying. Both unions and pilot groups have been requesting information regarding the Midex/RAH deal and both still don't know the answers to any of the questions above. Since we don't know how this deal came to be, who went to who, who proposed what, etc. then statements like the one above are just rants based on nothing. I couldn't oppose this transaction more and none of the people whining here know any of the details about it. I'm not adamantly defending RAH anymore than you AWAC in many of your posts. Lighten up.

The Hawaiian people will fly Mokulele especially if they are looking to hire 400 former Aloha guys. The people there have a lot a pride and they know what Go! did to Aloha. The islands are small and everyone almost knows each other there. A lot of friends, family members, etc were effected by the shutdown of Aloha. So there will be an overnight loyalty to Mokulele if they hire so many locals. My guess is if they only do interisland flying then perhaps even Hawaiian may code share with them and just do mainland Hawaii flights. (though that is just a guess) Sad part is that I heard that many if not most of the Go! pilots are not even locals. I think Karma has a lot to do with this, if Mesa just did what RAH did or would have just bought Hawaiian/Aloha they would have been in good shape and dominated HI. I say all this is because I lived there and my family lives there.
