Mesa recalling 80 pilots starting in March

[dooork]

So airlines that want good pay and workrules are doomed to fail?

Mesa is a good choice for a regional now?

Kit Darby is that you?

Airlines are not, but regionals with contracts do not have the same leverage.
Comair is a good example of that.

My bet is
66 will have blocked the Mesa number from their phones
10 are working at Peaknuckle and digging the vast QOL increase
2 will be there as soon as they finish their jail sentence
2 will be there ASAP.

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

thats how you got hired?

New people

I'm saying blaming Comair for its own demise for having the audacity to try and improve working conditions is the kind of nonsense I expect from the Ichans, Ornsteins and Lorenzos of the world, not the people who fly for them.

Mesa got its reputation by treating pilots who worked there like dirt. Repeatedly. For years. Now you're going to go on record saying that the same people are in charge now as then and everything is ok? I don't accept that.

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

Hi Rene,

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

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?

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.

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.
