Company email to employees as well as a press release that was issued this evening (09/12/2013).

It's been the company's worst kept secret for several months now. I wonder why they waited so long to announce it?

Race to the bottom continues. All the airlines care about is cost. Good luck finding people with that fo pay rate.

Republic finds them?? And Mesa's contract is a helluva lot better.

Recruiting problem (if there was one) = solved.

And to think they didn't have to take concessions or a pay freeze if they don't get hired at mainline. Blahahahahahahah

FYI Mesa has also signed up for 700mil. in additional loans to buy another airline. My money is on Eagle.

New Captains

Can someone help me with the math. 30 New Aircraft for UAL, 20 New Aircraft for US Airways at 10 pilots per aircraft = 500 pilots, plus hiring for 117 rules, plus attrition = 750 new pilots. This will mean that every FO on the property will have a chance to upgrade. It may also be worth noting that there were no concessions. Even during the chapter 11 there was never a word about an 1113 contract rejection. Does this make Mesa the only airline to go through Chapter 11 without reducing its labor costs? The best operating performance for three years and now 500 additional pilots? just saying?
