See in '04 Mesaba signed an industry leading contract, but you probably weren't yet in the industry. We were supposed to get 35 CRJ 200's but they weren't to 9E(sound like a familiar game?) NWA went into bankruptcy and took us with them. They bought us and are building us back. It's the Express I(Pinnacle) plan. Instead of think what regionals are sweet based on APC forums do some research. None of these planes our ours or yours.They are Delta's. We are all subcontractors in the regional industry. Please do more research. Almost all the contracts are on the ALPA and Teamsters websites. If you don't understand something ask.
