Trans States Holdings bought 50 MRJ's and options for 50 more. HK has many options with what to do with those planes. He can give them to TSA or GJ or even Compass, he can also sell them to someone else or sell his options and just take the profit or he can even start a new airline. Who knows what will happen but I am sure it will be something that makes the man some money which is a good thing.

I'm sure he will start another airline that will make gojets look overpaid

I bet this is going to happen....not sure who will start it though.

Assuming they come on property (big longshot IMO) first 10 automatically come to TSA per an LOA in our new contract. (Contingent on code share, government approval, yadda yadda yadda)

Wait a minute...I know you.

I was one of the former management types hired last fall. Since I've been over here, I have seen former chief pilots, maintenance control/line, flight training, PBS, and tons of line pilots from 9E. Flight operations/SOC is being decimated right now. Collectively, I can't think of more than 10 people working there now that have been there three years or more. A bunch have gone to United recently. The sad thing is that there are plenty of talented people left that will probably leave the industry after this because they don't have enough experience to advance in their careers.

Anyway, I think you're spot on. 9E is hosed. I'm betting end of the year max when the announcement goes out. If they are lucky, an abbreviated draw down period. This strikes me as more of a come in and the doors are locked situation though.

If they are by chance spared, they'll be the red-headed step-child of mama delta for years to come.

In other news, I've heard outstation maintenance is 'booting' planes until the bills are paid.

I would doubt that as that is illegal. The only legal avenue a mx shop has is to place a lien and then start foreclosure proceedings on the lien. They can get arrested for doing something like that.

Well, in that case you're probably right. It is a funny thought, though (as long as you're not the overnight crew that comes out to find it the next morning).

So you think a company cant refuse to provide a service to anyone as they see fit? Yea, that sounds about right...

this is the most pathetic post I have ever seen. Good thing gojet was created to make HIM more money. Where in the good lords name above are you from?

I have seen a few corporate aircraft get burried in the hangar or left in the corner of the tarmac and cornered in by other parked airplanes by FBO's that are waiting to get paid. Those airplanes aren't getting moved unless the bill is paid. If the mechanics are owed that much then you will very quickly see the gloves come off.
