Looks like Mesaba is still in SLC for the fall schedule. So much for our "temporary" presence huh? The snide comments and the obvious push-back games are getting old too.

I agree............

What kind of games are being played and what kind of snide comments are being said? I don't get to fly out west so I don't see how things are going in SLC.

Most is an overreaction and many normal acts are probably perceived the wrong way (Perception of being block, being keyed up over, puns, etc.) We (SKW) have no need to feel ill-will toward Mesaba, after all we haven't lost any flying and our flying isn't being reduced. The few times something has actually happened it’s probably no different than what ASA has done and is doing to us in ATL or what Comair is doing to F8 in CVG or what 9E guys do to Mesaba guys, etc..

It’s no more than an overreaction on both sides.

I don't care if Mesaba ends up with an SLC domicile; all I care about is that our flying is not being reduced. In the end we are still going to fly 80+% of the SLC flying, just as our contract dictates. Currently we are well above that mark so DAL still has a little wiggle room for Mesaba, Compass or whoever to wet their whistle with.

If a few of our pilots are making asses out of themselves then just remember that there are bad apples in every bushel. Do you really think that Mesaba is free of a few rotten spuds?

BTW, I’ve seen you guys several times in SFO and welcome to the west. The flying out here is much more fun than out east and there is a hell of a lot more to do on overnights. Not to mention how beautiful it is, with the exception of the central valley in CA and most of NV.:rolleyes:

Like what? I haven't heard any of this. Didn't realize it was going on. Some people need to grow up.

The only time i've heard any comments in ATL from ASA is when we get told by ramp or ground to follow the 'company Saab'. :p We're far more likely to poke fun at our own while on our home turf!

I heard?....................that's the perception of one or two about one or two. Nice flamebait.
