Yet you guys have the worst accident record in 121 -and shocker - when we picked up Clive Seal from your halls our manuals became discombobulated pieces of crap. Oh and we also have you guys to thank for LIDOs.

At least we are moving forward with the best culture in the 121 world - Mesaba's. I'm proud that we are adopting their procedures because clearly they were the class of the airline world.

Wait so Mesaba is a class airline of the world but Fedex is not?

Please go back and read my post again. I clearly stated "Nearly every airline". I'll go ahead and inform you that the word nearly is not synonymous with the word every.

So good for you.

The concessions will pass, probably around 85%.

Does the bicycle handle cancel out the under wing coolness? I'm still unsure on this.

Apparently the Autopilot and Autothrotles can fly that plane better than its own pilots.

You're missing the big picture.... I don't want to work for your airline, but you'd be a fool to turn down a job offer from mine.

Oh, our accident record is what it is because we fly in challenging conditions, all over the world, AT NIGHT.

Actually it never stopped. Over half I interviewed with were told "thanks, but no thanks", so they're not just hiring anyone with a pulse. Classes are running every 2 weeks.

Emerging from BK this fall, Eagle is a fairly attractive place to be for a new hire. New aircraft or not, we have an 8 year contract, and are wholly owned.

As far as the regional game goes, there are much worse places to be.
