Yv-dl !?!
 

Has anyone heard of a change in he relationship between YV & DL. I heard a rumour that is too absurd to repeat. I assumed that the person I heard it from was confusing things, perhaps mixing up Comair with DL, but she was aware of the difference and quite certain.... She is ex HP and thus also familiar with the exceptional quality of YV...

First of all, who is YV? And second, what is the rumor?

I've heard Mesa & Freedom was getting fired by DAL. Then again, I've heard the same thing about Mesa & US Airways, and with DAL regarding RAH & Comair.

I heard that too...it's not confirmed until you see a press release, but I can easily believe it after the yv meltdown I witnessed this summer (before I quit in frustration). YV sent what little talent it had to HI to kick off the go thing this summer...seems they neglected (more so than usual) their domestic ops.

YV is the code for Mesa. Good for them(YV) if their relationship has gone south. That is what you get when you put out an inferior product.

According to AWAC's CEO Mesa's performance on the US Airways side is satisfactory.

On a side note I had heard a long time ago that they (yv) had pi$$ed off UAL as well and were getting fired... esp. after UAL required them to have ACARS and they couldnt call in times to station ops manually... appearent ACARS data showed the obivous all of too well (MESA TIME STATs. SUCK)

I'd say all of Mesa Air groups code shares are in jeopardy. It blows because it reflects on the employees/pilots the most and this is not where the problem stems from.

J.O.and Mike Lott spend more time trying to stretch a dollar and less time trying to improve the product. The time has come and gone for the lowest bidder this is why we did not get the much anticipated Continetal flying. The carriers do not like the way these guys are running the company. I can't blame them, there is a chance to make this company worthy but the big bonuses are getting in the way of future potential. Frankly, I think they would like to see somebody just buy the airline.

Any change in the relationship between YV and DL can only be additional flying, since currently YV doesn't fly for DL.

If you're highly placed source that's ex-HP had a clue (or even exists), both of which I doubt, they would know that.

If you meant F8 then there is no reason to believe that as part of the rebid for feeder work that F8 will gain or lose flying and given DL's focus on cost over everything every reason to believe F8 will add flying. Face it - if F8 is still flying for Delta out of JFK based on the debacle that was that startup it's hard to believe Delta has a problem with the jet flying that's going a lot better.

i've heard that DAL is happy with RAH. In fact DAL likes bedford so much that they (supposedly) have said that if bedford goes, so does the DAL flying. bedford's not going anywhere.
