My prediction for the fight????? Painnnnnnnnnnnn!

That just goes to show you the professionalism at that airline. I'm not even going to dignify that with an insult. It speaks for itself.

Now lets go back to the subject. Why do you think Mesa will win or lose?

As I said in a different thread. Delta wouldn't be pursuing this if they didn't think they would win. People are saying otherwise, but it's been quoted by the judge who issued the injunction, that the injunction was ONLY GRANTED because he DIDN'T WANT TO PUT THE COMPANY OUT OF BUSINESS WITH ONE SWING OF THE GAVEL. He wanted all the information presented.

Again..Delta would NOT be pursuing this if they didn't think they would win, and Mesa has NO CHOICE but to fight it, because frankly...they most likely WILL go out of business without that $20 mil a month.

Andy's right, at first i posted that i thought there would be a settlement, but they would have reached one by now. DAL must really want the contract terminated, because of the resources they were willing to commit to this legal battle.

I don't think so, if that was the case..and Delta wasn't really serious about dumping Mesa. I think you would've seen Delta say to Mesa, OK...we'll renegotiate with you, get you for even cheaper..or we cancel..your choice.

But that didn't happen, the fact that it's been SIX months since the injunction (or so) and Delta went after those CRJ900s tells me that they mean business.

There's no proof that the video was actually made by mag pilots...

I agree after reading your post makes sense

Chautauqua gave Delta the 135s back without a fight and "possibly" a verbal agreement that Delta would pursue the injunction. Maybe BB laid down the 135s because he knew that Delta kicking Mesa to the curb meant that there would be more Delta 175s, United 170s and a ton of Airways flying.. He knows more than we do or maybe I just had two bottles of wine and 4 Sierra Nevadas.
