Just for some clarity: DFW grid is green tomorrow and for the rest of the month. As reserves are assigned - LCR elevated to SCR, SCR going to ready, anyone given a trip of any kind, even if they come off of it, they are removed from the grid. So daily the grid is expected to go red. That doesn't mean we are not over staffed. The company continues to offer and accept VLOA for February. I do not expect hiring or even recall to resume any time soon.

Yeah, we are back to the normal guarantee, and they’re paying us back for the short months.

Is Mesa really going to bring on cadets without an ATP before hiring qualified and typed former regional pilots?

Our cadet recruiters said they are

She said cancelled classes then cadets then they go into the pilot pool.

Mesa has no need for pilots. As soon as the vaccine has traction we can furlough. We are still accepting VLOAs. We have a limited number of aircraft with only a few 737 coming online. Once we are not using reserves to cover for Covid exposure we will be super fat on pilots.

Skywest out of no where started classes.

Damn near every pilot at RPA that I kno has said word is March but no one knows anything beyond that.

Mesa cadet recruiter asking us when we would be ready for class.

So no one knows wtf is going to happen. Yes I’m trying to be positive and easier but also have to be real and patient and kno it will happen eventually.

reserve grid is red and JO said they’re spinning up training in April via the town hall. I think they’re expecting a jump in travel in the summer and fall and don’t want to get caught with our pants down.

I’m sure there’s something they see that we don’t. I wouldn’t be surprised if trace boomed this spring and summer with people having major cabin fever.

The gird in the short term is red. But it means nothing. Out 3 days plus it’s green. That’s the real grid. Those who think a red grid in the short term means we are short just don’t understand the grid.

How many times in the last 12 months have you said furloughs are coming that haven’t?
