Mesa getting into the 737 game?

[BobDDuck]

Heard story yesterday about Mesa hiring flight ops people with 737 experience to ramp up -400 cargo ops that Southern can't staff for DHL. Seems... odd but like something Mesa would try to do.

I heard that one from a little higher up the food chain a few months ago.

Ungh.

Don’t they have trouble staffing the flying they already have? Seems like a good way to piss off ual and aa.

Hilariously bad.

What could possibly go wrong with this?

Confirmed, four Southern -400s for DHL. Organization level is not promising.

When you say "confirmed," you mean "confirmed" like "Thank you, Simone" levels of confirmed, or somewhere we can read all about it?

Their name isn't Simone, but the source is strong... It's internet true, if nothing else

Makes sense... never gonna find a new 737 for less than you will right now...

So we’ve been hearing from some reliable people that AA is going to begin removing Eagle flying from Mesa. Beginning with the 900s that AA owns.
