CEO Jack Smith

I never know why I did not think about this before, but today I heard Michael Warshaw (WoMag) on WTAG today mention Worcester natice Jack Smith, CEO of Delta, in regards to the Ionic Ave Boys Club.

Mesa Air Group, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Freedom Airlines, Inc., began service for Delta Air Lines as a Delta Connection carrier in October 2005. The Company currently operates 14 regional jet aircraft as Delta Connection and will operate a total of 30 regional jet aircraft as Delta Connection at August 1, 2006. On March 7, 2006, the Company announced the expansion of its Delta Connection arrangement with the addition of 12 Dash-8 aircraft. The Dash-8 aircraft will commence operations in New York - JFK in July 2006.

Should we not tap Worcester native Jack Smith to help us set up Mesa Air Group, a Delta connection carrier, on a twice daily ORH-JFK shuttle? What do you think of people on this blog e-mailing, writing a letter or telephoning Jack Smith about flying the Mesa Dash=8 out of ORH?

I say telephone...have a conversation...tell him about the airport and how we have supported Allegiant for almost 10 months with solid numbers in the pax department and how the city is looking for new service to other destinations and that Mesa would be the perfect addition to ORH

Good idea lets talk to him, but lets push for jet service. Dash-8 are fine for some people but don't they worry others becuase they are turbo props?

I agree jet service would be ideal. Maybe if we showed demand on a Dash-8 turbo, we could always upgrade.
