The pay thing could get very interesting. If they start missing payroll you will start to see folks simply not go to work anymore. That really would be the end of Mesa as they would simply stop functioning.

And it would only really take one group, maintenance or F/As or pilots or whomever.

If I stopped getting paid it wouldn't take long for me to stop going to work.

Why not ask Wayne Hutto, if he could get you a job flying in and out of Mogadishu?

IOU's are as good as cash. As long as every penny is accounted for.

I agree saab2000,

This shouldn't be and issue considering Mesa was approved to continue payroll uninterrupted (press release). Let's hope this is an isolated incident.

Hi!

I did some flights last month for an airline that flies into Mogadishu. I didn't fly there, but I might be this or next month. The US Embassy security guy in NBO said it was no big deal flying into Mogadishu, as long as you stayed at the airport...said security was good there.
