Mesa recalling 80 pilots starting in March

[PBRstreetgang]

With the exception of JO, there is an entirely new team at Mesa

Which means you are being led by a convicted felon......

 

[brokedash]

Sniper, no, I was brought in for an interview, but know of people hired over the phone.

Rene, the new 900s can not operate oustide the PHX system, this is confirmed. Also What new team? It's all the same old gang. The BoD are new, is this what you are refering too?

 

[jetfueljunkey]

Rumor has it all additional aircraft are going to CLT

9 new aircraft are staying in PHX, 9 old 900's moviong to CLT.. IE growth in CLT domicile.

Union was told to expect 20 more 900's for Airways, another 20 for UAL.

Two are on line of the nine, two more are in paint.

Bombardier is a major holder/owner of the new Mesa with the restruction in courts so thats possible i was told as well

 

[huskerfan]

Source? Or is the union keeping this a secret?

 

[CLARKGRSWOLD]

The 20 for UAL will be 900 frames.. Not sure on the seat config

Mike Lotz (sp) Title COO I think.

 

[huskerfan]

Did ML send out a company email or? This would be great but I have heard so many rumors,just being a pessimist.

 

[Skaff]

Management. I apologize. Next time I will go get in in writing and get it notorized before I post. Why are you on message boards if you don't believe anything written? lol

Mesa lost flying to Skywest. That is pretty bad....Mesa is a dump and cheaply run. So if Skywest wins, prove to me they didn't bid it at a loss. Again, we lost the bid.

Your the one claiming that Skywest did bid it as a loss so it's yours to prove. The fact that you say that your proof is that management told you so shows you don't know what your talking about. Management says a lot of things for a lot of different reasons. You don't think you've ever been lied to? The fact is, is that Skywest is making a profit. The only flying they occasionally lose money on is the at risk flying that they have gotten into in some markets to learn the "at risk market game". Skywest currently = surplus of pilots + quarterly profits + no furloughs. I'm not ignorant enough to say that couldn't change. But if you get all worked up over Skywest flying at a loss and your only proof is, "mesa management said so", your an idiot.

I think per UA new scope they would be limited to 76 seats in a 2 class config.

He told this to our MEC Chair and it was passed along in a pilot wide confr. call.

To add to this, SkyWest will also be flying four 900s for US Airways. I'm sure SkyWest is going to lose money doing that as well.

Are those the Ex Air Mekong ones sitting in Tucson?

Yeah, the original 900s that were suppose to fly for US Airways a long time ago.

A long time ago? Like way back in March.

Finding 80 pilots. Everyone is acting like we are trying to find a cure for HIV.

They are plenty of Comair, PNCL pilots out of work. I will be more than happy to have any Comair guy or gal, come pull gear for me

The real question is; unemployment is $450 a week and starting pay at Mesa is $22 a flight hour...is it worth having that airline on your resume and with less than unemployment pay?

They show up as "generic" paint on the MX list....

Mesa Hiring

Word is that there are no longer any Mesa Pilots on furlough. As of 4/29 Mesa has hired 53 new pilots, all in class today, all with 1,500 hours and ATP. Optimism is in the Arizona air.

 

[CLARKGRSWOLD]

e-175's are coming online soon.
