You're absolutely right. Air Congo is rumored to be in need of some regional feed. If Mesa can manage to stay out of BK, then they'll be ok.

It's not bad, it tastes better if you keep eating it... I prefer roast beef flavor myself.

Haha.... I'm just happy with a piece of food that doesn't have other garbage sticking to it. Although I have found that digging through dumpsters presents its own significant challenges in the winter... I just have to watch out for that cross-eyed homeless guy they call 'rat'... he's a territorial son of a gun... but that's a story for another time.

OK, couldn't keep my mouth shut anymore since most if not ALL of you really don't understand what is going on in this court case tomorrow. I know a little bit about it because I have been following it closely as I almost got furloughed in ground school when Mesa won the injunction and thus I was able to continue on with my job for an extra 6 months before finally getting furloughed.

Mesa received notice in March that Delta decided to end the 145 flying. Mesa promptly filed a lawsuit saying it was a breach of contract to cancel the contract. Then when Delta decided to move along with pulling the flying and attempting the stop paying Mesa the $20M a month as per the contract, Mesa filed a motion for an injunction, because it would have and still will be at least a year or so before the entire case can be heard. In this injunction, which is somewhat of an abbreviated, emergency court case, which are usually very difficult to win, Mesa was able to show the judge that there was good enough evidence that the contract was to be upheld until the full court case can be heard years from now. At this point Delta had already pulled all the flying from Mesa, but because of this injunction, Delta had to continue to pay Mesa the $20M a month. So like any smart company, Delta decided if they have to pay a company to do flying and they aren't flying they might as well give them the flying, which they have done. In the meantime, Delta, which clearly doesn't like Mesa and doesn't want to wait around for a year or two for the case to be heard, filed an APPEAL to the INJUNCTION. And this my friends is what the case is tomorrow. This is simply Delta's appeal to the injunction Mesa won back in May. So now in my opinion, if anyone has the upper hand tomorrow it is Mesa who has already won this injunction and has obviously proved to a judge that there was good enough evidence that he didn't believe that Delta could abruptly cancel the contract and he wanted to wait for the full case to be heard and then make a better informed decision.

FLAME AWAY!!!
