You guys are so excited about this its ridiculous. As Spoilers stated, WHO CARES. It’s not like this is going to create a hiring boom at other airlines. It just means more pilots on the street. Good luck to all the Mesa crews.

The wild card in any of the Q400 rumors at United is now Skywest inc has "last look" provision with the first 30 large turboprops with United...

Im confused. they will be losing 10 dash 8's from the united contract, so they will need to find a home for 10 dash 8's. Unless im missing something.

No it will just mean more Mesa pilots on the street. Could be movement for other 3000 furloughed.

Sorry to hear that its terrible for any airline to announce possible pilot furloughs. I think possibly Continental they have Colgan and Commutair operating alot of Connection routes. Who knows guys/gals
