A: Simply because we enjoy wasting money hand over fist so that the readers on APC.com have something to B#@CH about. We find it funny and they're so easy!!


I don't know how many times it can be said, exact language needed to be used, etc. it will take for some of the ridiculously hard headed to tell the difference.

One person saying, "We're getting 100 airplanes based on nothing!".......rumor.

Airlines don't put into motion everything we have including hiring just to hire to have a massive excess in payroll in "hopes" to have flying added. It doesn't happen.

Comair's issue wasn't even a rumor. It was bad timing for an airline that, ulimately, didn't meet the needs of the owner of the flying.

I understand turning an ear to obvious rumor but this is 100% the opposite. Not "believing" it is just showing ignorance, not WANTING to believe it or simply just being an A$$.
I dont really care the outcome either way, your ridiculous cockiness has made me hope that in the future you have to put a big foot in you mouth. The only way you can be sure that something is coming is if you work for Delta and are on their management team, which I doubt. Just relax, you are spending way too much energy defending a rumor that you have obviously taken to heart.

Deltapaysoon - give up man. The important people know the truth. The rest will find out soon enough and until then it's an uphill battle to convince of people something that they don't want to believe.

First off, the "name" means nothing to you. I found it unfortunate that I, potentially, will be paid by Delta, not the opposite.

Second, twenty plus years in the industry and two advanced non-flying aviation degrees. Write to me when you are even in the ballpark. Sorry bubba, first airline job was in '88.

Third, simply reinforcing fact and pointing out incredible hard headidness. I really don't care if ANYONE believes the incredibly minor fact that Mesaba is getting more airplanes / flying or not but to publically dismiss advance information for no other reason than spite is so damn aggravating and ignorant.

Why is sharing info and dismissing childish banter from spiteful individuals considered cocky? (Rhetorical - No need to post....we already know). I hope EVERY airline gets another 10+ airplanes. My God people.

Bored, you're right. Simply trying to put the "haters" in their place only to unearth more.

..and all this dissmissal of information and banter over something so simple and stupid as Mesaba getting airplanes. I didn't know this was so earthshattering.

I think it's funny that you think we shold just believe your unsubstantiated rumor that Mesaba is getting more 900's. This place is a constant mill for rumors JUST LIKE YOURS! There's a guy in this thread that says he's going to buy you coffee if you're right. Why are you so defensive?

I guarantee you 99% of the people on this forum could care less if Mesaba does or does not get any more planes. We simply get a rise out of watching you operate the rumor mill... and defend it with no evidence of ANY sort. We'll believe it when we see the facts. No matter how hard you try, your opinion/rumor will not carry water for most of us.

In other words, we'll believe it when we see it. In the meantime, we'll enjoy your constant Mesaba pep rally.

Doing what for 20 years? hoping Mesaba will get more planes?

Third, simply reinforcing fact and pointing out incredible hard headidness.

Most people born in the 50's or 60's dont use the word "haters". G

THIS JUST IN, HOT OFF THE PRESS!!!!

I talked to a "manager" and he told me in a "unofficial offical" type of manner that in fact Mesaba is being built up to increase its value for the ensuing sale to Skywest. Skywest inc. will be the largest juggarnaut in the regional airline game. Their first order of business will be to use the brand new training facility in Eagan to train pilots for CRJ-900 series aircraft to be operated by Skywest pilots for Midwest Express in direct competition with RAH.

Vacancy Notices every two weeks
Two training classes a month
EVERY department being told to take vacations soon or risk being too busy.
Company wide mandatory memo to list hours on type and total SPECIFICALLY for mass hiring of FTI's.
Hiring from 250-who knows
EVERY department moving like crazy to prepare / catch up
Pilots not on furlough coming from established carriers.
Oh yeah, it's been made internally public.
etc., etc. etc.

You're right.......,"Nothing to see here.....Nothing going on."
You're also right, you don't see it so how can you even have an opinion on something that you can't see while many, many others do?

Whatever.
I'm done. I hope all airlines see growth and a great contract in the near future. This isn't an XJ thing for me. Simply trying to stop the trivial "I don't believe it" trite. That's so stupid.
