Aloha Airlines files bankruptcy, cites Mesa Air’s pricing

[PA44Jockey]

Didn't Mesa lose a lawsuit against Aloha, or someone else already? All major airlines should stop hiring Mesa guys. Maybe that would make a point. Not that any of the Majors are going to be hiring now though.

I realize that people that fly for Mesa have their own motives and can make their own decisions, but possibly if we put an end to it being any kind of stepping stone to the Majors their operation would crumble.

Lets see what good has come out of Mesa over the past few years.

1. Pilots sleeping in A/C on CD's

2. Pilots sleeping in A/C in the terminal environment

3. Company basically steeling financial Data from two other companies in Hawii.

4. Terrible customer service

5. Barely legal flight crews clogging JFK with inexperience and slow airplanes.

What else.......

Why don't you get right on that and let me know how it works out. Any other "sinister" pilot groups you 're going to put on that list?

Woo-hoo, first page!!!

Why don't you go back to flying your PIPER. And judging by your profile and what you said, you're probably stuck at Comair with nowhere to go...

How about this scenario:

Mesa Airlines (somehow) buys Aloha now that's in bk, and then directs the lawyers to drop the lawsuit?

As I understand it, this is a civil case, not a criminal one (YET. The night is young, grasshopper). So what would prevent this nightmare scenario from happening?

Christ, that would really, really suck.
