Mesa furloughing

[JoeMerchant]

I'd suggest that you wake up and realize the contract world is, and always will be, about underbidding and undercutting other "regionals" for contracts. Contract lift in the regional world will never be a long-term carrier.

Never say never....Anything can change, but so far people have made careers out of ASA, Skywest, and CMR.....While others have had careers go bust at PanAm, Eastern, TWA, Braniff, Aloha, ATA, etc.....One could even argue that many careers have gone bust now at UAL, AA, etc....

Nothing is absolute....None of us can really compare notes until we taxi under the water cannon salute.....

So...I'm confused now...

Does Mesa suck or not?

I was under the impression they did...

No Mesa pilot caused that crash. Re-read the post.

It was a AirMidWest owned by Mesa Air Group. And the contributing factor was JO whoring out to the cheapest contract Mx to do the Checks on the Plane.

Those Two Pilots along with the pax never had a chance! God rest their souls.

I just took a Mesa Home Suckage Test. I peed on the stick and after 5 minutes it showed positive for Mesa sucking. So sleep easy tonight.

Is that an automated response on the regional forum "Mesa Sucks"..seems like the only response that everyone uses..I'm sure the Mesa guys on here don't pay much attention to that anymore ..just curious.

I assume your management goes for the most expensive. It was a Beechcraft maint facility.....who better to work on the Beech?

Yep, and the NTSB found out that the Five Mechanics that worked on that Plane had ZERO experience on the Beechcraft. Who better to work on the beech then 5 guys that never worked on one.

Hey BrownStreak, I flew with that kid in your avatar just last week. It was fun letting him make all the announcements. But I hate it when he leaves the power levers all sticky when it's my turn to fly.
