Two things...first, we are not flying anywhere in Spain. Whoever wrote BIO meant to type BOI, Boise, Idaho, IINM.

Second, you guys have to got be kidding me...did anyone not see willworktofly INTENTIONALLY make a joke about us having the best of everything and then blumpkin chimed in...continuing the JOKE!?

Im quite sure it was just meant to counter all the Skywest chest-thumping about how they own and operate the Salt Lake City Int'l Airport. And Im not even going to entertain the 9 vs 900 argument...its just not worth it.

Seriously, I don't know who is worse the young guys who care only to brag about flying a jet or the guys who are so sensitive that they can't take a joke.

Seriously man, grow up. You have nothing better to do than create new user accounts every two weeks? I have a hard time believing you work for a real airline. I hope you don't fly any airplane, you just don't seem mature enough to handle the responsibility.

Grow up Kids.

In the sensitive guy's defense, just to play devils advocate, this really isn't a good time to be "joking" about how good your airline has it by starting false rumors/jokes on a webboard with all the furloughs/downgrades going on. It's along the lines of walking into a funeral for a friends mom and still calling her a MILF. But that's how the maturity of alot of 22 year old jet jockeys seems to be.

Wow! You mean your "nine" won't go from SLC to BIO? Gosh.

And I thought it was just a typo cause the OP had such a woody about flying out of SLC he fat fingered the identifier.

But thanks for clearing that misunderstanding up for me, I was so lost.





OO.

What false rumor? All of those city pairs are announced in our bid package for next month.

Once again...everyone seems to get all worked up over XJ pilots expressing some positivity about things that are new to us. When you overnight in BIS, RAP, DSM, LSE and GTF all the time, its kinda nice to hear that you're picking up PHX, SFO and LAS as a change of pace.

Again... this marks the first time our network will be from coast to coast. New cities are exciting and makes going to work a little bit different. It's the same thing as ASA salivating at returning to international flying or Skywesties getting a new city from DL to fly to. Jeez... back off the XJ guys.

Then post it on your company message board. Then you can say whatever you want about it with people who are happy about it. This is a public board to discuss events in the industry and to help one another out. When you come on here and say Mesaba is flying to las vegas, what kind of response are you expecting from someone who works at ASA or skywest, or Delta (where those routes belong)? Do you want them to jump for joy? Its not that the rest of the regional industry wants you guys to do bad, its just that we don't want to hear about pointless stuff that could be placed on a company message board.
