Best of luck to all at Mesa except J.O.

I guarantee that jack@ss is gonna be the only one who comes out of this deal smelling like a rose.

It's really too bad that there isn't some legal maneuver that can be used to hold this scumbag accountable for what he did.

I'm still just amazed that the BoD at Mesa is willing to let JO keep steering that ship toward the rocks.

Don't feel bad, leaving Mesa for another regional is not a lateral move. Its a move up and you won't believe how nice it is to work for a company that has a good working contract.

Good Luck

I second that.

However, don't ever count Mesa out. It's like a zombie or something . . . can't be killed. When I was there I was sure it was gonna tank twice, and they pulled through.

Best plan: apply for another regional now. It will be months before you interview (likely) and then you can decide.

Worst plan: Wait for Mesa to tank, and be one among 1000+ looking for work. Or just keep working for Mesa to build time (if they survive) and you'll be in prison for a couple more years, at least. This also sucks.

Agreed. They are like a cockroach, they will never just go away.

I doubt ASA or any of them will make you wait more than a couple months.

 

[pdub20s]

Well my app is in at RAH.

 

[McNugent]

Nevermind.

 

[BoilerUP]

Avantair, Alpha Flying, XO Jet, Flight Options.

All better alternatives (IMO) than making a lateral move to the bottom of another regional airline's seniority list.

i agree.. apply/interview everywhere and decide later... if soemething bad does go down then you may be ahead of a lot of other folks in the same boat.. if nothing happens then you're good to go and have only lost a few hours sending out apps...

Whatever you do, don't go to Pinnacle. This place is starting to become just like Mesa.

So, which regional is going to take over the Phoenix base?

 

[DoinTime]

Im talking Chapter 17 liquidation.

Wow....Mesa can't even get bankruptcy right.

it would probably be SKW

Ugg... can't believe I will write this:

My guess is skywest would take the United flying, and thus would be over extended as it is. PSA can't staff their aircraft as it is, so if US Airways wants to stay with the current dysfunctional Airways express carriers, it leaves Air Wisconsin who might pick some up... they say they want to grow, but then again they have not in years. I guess you could bring in Pinnacle, but again they can barely staff their own aircraft. I think Delta would get rid of all the 50 seater they can, same with UAL.


All that said, Mesa won't die IMO... they might shrink, but I don't think they will die.
