Since you don't even work at ASA, how would you know? Having an industry-leading contract doesn't really have anything to do with getting the 900s. But then again if you worked at ASA, you'd know that. How far from the bottom are you at mesaba?

800 flights a day into/out of ATL every day and 9E wouldn't have industry leading performance numbers either.

Do you seriously believe ASA's contract signed in 2007 is industry leading? I would stay it not much better than Mesaba's bankrupt 2001 concessionary contract.... BRAH

Wow.. it definitely seems like this thread has gone way off of its original topic.. which was 9E. Its all about Mesaba and ASA and LOrd knows what not

Anyhow.. I guess we can come back to our original discussion.. Pinnacle!!

Has Pinnacle received all of its remaining 5 900's from Bombardier yet or just received a couple of them? Do they all go in service together this month along with the other 2 they received prior to receiving the freedom airplanes?

By the way... Happy New Year everyone! Hope its a great 2009 for everyone at the regionals on here at airlinepilotforums!!
