Did you give him full palm or just a single digit?

This call is complete and utter nonsense... just watch tomorrow they will come out with a memo to tell us that "we fixed it."

Oh and we might be flying the Q400 for delta.... grrrreeeaaatt.... sheer brilliance!

So did everyone get the understanding that all 3 will merge lists? That's kinda what I heard when Phill was talking about how we all have the same union.

A sad day

I spent 10 years at Mesaba before moving on years ago and thought it was a great bunch of folks. In that same time I've seen the 9E guys just treated like crap by thier company.
The next thing your going to hear is that we need a contract that lets us compete against the other bidders.
Some one transfered pages from the old NWA play book and put them in the Delta play book and their going to execute it line by line.
There goes the flow thru. Just when you thought you had it made you fall victim to Major Airline Law School 101.
Sorry guys, at the moment I just don't see the good in all this, except 9E, its up from here.

Wait a minute, PNCL comes up with money to buy Mesaba and can't give their pilots on whose backs they made said money a fair contract. You guys need to walk, end of story.

Delta fronted the money, and will be paid back over 5 years I believe

What's the max certified takeoff weight? If it exceeds 70,000lbs DAL scope does not allow it.

Edit: Looks like 64,500lbs. Passenger config would have to be 70 seats or less.

Correct, and it is financed at 12.5%, not a cheap rate but PNCL Corp feels it is fair for an "unsecured" loan. I would hardly call it "unsecured" since Daddy Delta calls the shots for PNCL Corp so I would not think PNCL would tell Delta to screw off when it comes to making payments.

So what is that? About 19 mil in interest that Corp will pay? Yeah, they sure sound broke to me
