Mesa recalling 80 pilots starting in March

[rene]

Hi Rene,

Did all show up for class this past Monday? Also any idea where they are going to send these guys?

Thanks

From what I hear, most either showed up or asked for some more time and rescheduled. There seems to be a psoitive "buzz" in the air these days, lots of captain upgrades.

Sounds like only half are showing up for class, is this untrue Rene?

Lessee,
Return from furlough to Messa, or stop working the counter at Taco Bell?
Would you like hot sauce with that order?

I'm just waiting to see exactly how many would apply to Mesa if and when off the street hiring occurs.

Furloughs

From what I hear, most either showed up or asked for some more time and rescheduled. There seems to be a psoitive "buzz" in the air these days, lots of captain upgrades.

50% of the total have returned or were unqualified. About 75% of those who could be contacted returned. So far, not much of a problem hiring from the street. 24 new hires scheduled for 4/15.

Were those 24 the holdovers from MAPD?

Hey guys, saw on another forum people are getting hired at Mesa with just a phone interview- not having to show up for an interview. True?

They must be really hurting!

Nothing new for Mesa. That's how they did it back in the day.

Street Captains in the future I'll bet.

Give it up guys. The reputations of airlines you guys are bitching about is OLD news. Let's take a look.

JO was a pain using Icahn's MO and expanding on it. Hurt a lot of good people, nobody came to help, including ALPA, and got a bad reputation. It hangs on to this day. It has it's own problems to this day but much has improved . Read the boards. The rest is history, it's over.

Comair, the "darling of the industry", shone bright, got help (strike benefits), priced themselves out of the market and they are now history.

A big career mistake is riding the pony over the cliff.

Mesa is now competitive in work rules, not too lame on pay, and it is a lean mean company with aircraft that are in demand having shed most of the 200's.


Warren Buffet will tell you to sell when every one else is buying, buy when every one else
is selling. Mesa is not such a bad decision for a semi career choice right now.

Get in now, get your time in and move on.
