For those who hate(d) Mesa, a little song to cheer you up...

I was cleaning out my locker at work today (5 days left for me), and came across a few songs me and a co-worker have written over the years.

This is by far my favorite. It was written during a particularly bad month for Mesa Ops. They've gotten much, much better since dumping the CR2's. But at the time this was written, they were a disaster.

Feel free to substitute in TransStates or GoJet or whoever you want. I wish I could remember the name of the song this is sung to, but I figure it'll be clear enough.

(And Mods, please feel free to move this if needed. I really didn't know where to put it. Apologies in advance...)


This Plane

This plane is flown by Mesa, this plane
This plane is flown by Mesa, this plane
This plane ain't bound for glory, ev'ry delay is a brand new story
This plane is flown by Mesa, this plane

This plane ain't goin nowhere (will never get here), this plane
This plane ain't goin nowhere (will never get here), this plane
This plane is on mechanical, Captain's cracked, Dispatch satanical
This plane ain't goin nowhere (will never get here), this plane

This plane don't have no Captain, this plane
This plane don't have no FO, this plane
This plane don't have no flight crew, APU's busted and there are no tight screws,
This plane don't have no Captain, this plane

This plane is never on time, this plane
This plane is never on time, this plane
The delay's on Crew or maybe a fog patch, sometimes Ramp but never Dispatch
This plane is never on time, this plane

This plane is flown by Mesa, this plane
This plane is flown by Mesa, this plane
Come up to the gate so we can tell ya, we're sending you and your bags to Delta
Grab your stuff, don't be sentimental, you'll have better luck on Continental
Across the hall and down the stairways, they'll treat ya fine on USAirways
This plane is flown by Mesa, this plane
