meanwhile somewhere in "mesaland" 3 random freshly sanctioned mechanics are devising a plan. A plan on how they are going to break it to the mr. boss that the engine does not fit. How is mesa not having this problem as well ... "duct tape and chicken wire"

From what I have been hearing, its a probationary period for United. If we continue on with no improvement, United yanks our contract. Perhaps this is the real reason that Express Jet is poised to do a bunch of flying for United out of IAD and ORD.

Tried to tell you guys that this was coming months ago when the Eagle planes went in, and their mechanics called the Feds....

We tried to tell you guys that you didn't want the planes back because that would lead to furloughs...

UAX is Skywest,Mesa,TSA,RAH. It could also be that no one had the capacity to do this summer flying and probably competitively bid for it as well. It's worth 10 airplanes for XJET. Certainly TSA couldn't with the furloughs and loss of airplanes. Maybe Hulas will finally wake up and run this airline properly.
