That's not nice. They will not be getting anything better than new-hire seniority, and they will have to compete fair and square on their merits against the other qualified furloughs out there. But the loss of seniority alone is sufficient "penalty" for having worked at mesa...no need to single them out.

Yeah ....Looks like this flight will be weight restricted....maybe you can just take the next one.....good luck!!....the crews at Mesa are some of the finest you will find in the world and have flown countless hours safely......if your attitude is shared by anyone at your airline....your not welcome on my jumpseat.......I hope your Dog Dies and you have explosive diareaha on short final....

That may be but in the tough times they should be focusing on their own before anything else. The only reason Mesa is still flying for Airways is because of the contract and the fact that they will undercut any other airline....but mainly for the contract.
I also hope that no one picks up the extra Mesa guys who lose out...it is their fault they work for such a crappy company. Or if they do I would hope they let them burn at the bottom of the seniority list regardless of age/experience.

While I completely disagree with what US Airways East pilots have done to the AmericaWest guys/gals who threw them a life preserver, I wouldn't wish them any ill-will.

Its bad karma to wish ill will on fellow pilots..at least until MESA II: The Return of The Underbidders starts up again in six months.

I was simply stating that's crappy attitude........what goes around comes around....if you know what I mean.....if you are going to be a prick...you can ride in the back if there is room......but I don't want to have to listen to you bashing pilots for working at a company that has crappy management for any length of time....I have a lot of respect for some of the MAPD 250 hour FO's...some of them are GREAT Pilots and really do a remarkable job......others you have you hands full with but the majority have been outstanding....best of luck to anyone unlucky enough to be looking for a job in this market...the Changes to the ATP mins will shut up all the people *****ing about 250 hour FO's.....its an hold horse......stop beating it ....its dead already......
