Mesa ordered to pay Hawaiian Air $80M

[labbats]

Be patient.........Johnny will take it in the chute by BOTH litigants.

Unfortunately as has been said, he's already a millionaire a hundred times over. Although sad for some, the good part is that this will hopefully force Mesa to shut down once and for all.

EVERYBODY in the airline industry is better off with Mesa ceasing operations as soon as possible.

Mesa has represented perfectly everything that is wrong with this industry and profession since Lorenzo.

The next goal, is to convince gullible and clueless saps that working for flying sweatshops like Mesa can only hurt them in the long run.

Agree 100%

The fact that Mesa is ALPA is disturbing.

in 1998, at CC Air, jetstream Cpts were making 65K.
that wouod be close to 100,000 in today's dollars.
yep, JO didn't like it.

as far as him going under, he'll take the whole stinking fleet to china where he has already planned to ride it out.

muck fesa....

I know JO is like a roach that just won't die...but he does have a board of directors and stockholders are looking for any excuse to sue board members and CEO's of companies that they have lost money on. One can only hope.

Later

Why? If Mesa was non union or in house they'd be even harder to lift up....

Take it to the global perspective.... small carrier pilots that fly jets for poor working conditions and pay will effect us here... in order to bring them up its better that they are part of the union...

Regardless though... when someone needs to be picked up... do you help or do you just walk over them and pretend they don't exist? Sooner or later they will effect you...

They had a choice! Every regional is hiring. They made that choice so fcuk them. I hope mesa folds and they ALL get what they deserve.

There are a lot of people there who were hired at Mesa when no one else was hiring. You know 2001-2004. Wow, people have short memories. There are too many people on this board that are so new that they think that all regionals were always hiring and don't know what a furlough is.

That being said, Mesa still Sucks. Anyone who has been hired there in the past year or plans to go there has made a rather large mistake. Considering they are currently lucky enough to have other options that are/were much better.

Well put. Im just waiting for the email saying JO has resigned or was fired

 

[IFollowRoads]

We still talk about that stupid training vid Mesa put out, where they tried to convince Mesa pilots that they should be happy about missing the wife's chemotherapy appointment to get junior assigned... dam we laughed at those poor bastards. With this China thing I feel really sorry for them.

airshuttle to Airheart...

Ha ha

I like "As* Shuttle" as a controller in CLT calls them.

Any hope Blow Jet will bow out after Mesa, that would be great.

April can't come soon enough, Aloha.
