Default What is really going on at Mesa?

I haven't heard anyting substantial about Mesa recently. I was just wondering what the status of furloughs is. What DOH are the furloughs up to?

Any positive rumors going on over there? I thought I heard about some new US Airways flying, any truth to that? I think a lot of people were expecting them to fail a long time ago, but are they really swinging either way right now?

Thanks.

Default Mesa...

I talked to a buddy of mine there. His hire date is 2-14-06. He's 41 from the bottom. Recently he was taken off the 145 and sent to CRJ school. That's pretty much all I've heard, though admittedly don't have my ear that close to the ground. He did tell me the US Airways contract ends in 2011, and I don't think the smart money is betting on a renewal.

Thanks, I didn't know that the US Airways contract was up in 2011. Does anyone know what the status is of the United 700's? What is the deal on the contracts over there?

Default furlough status

There are 80 pilots slated for furlough Sept 1. Spoke with CP and she said that her and EG going to revamp the numbers this week. Should have a better idea next week. Positive outlook for coming out of BK and a good chance of extending US flying, as hinted in 2Q US Air Conference call.

Seeing that is a sobering reminder of how much this industry sucks.

Well at least the high pay makes up for the lack of job security and time with your family.

Any word on the US Airways Dash 8 flying? Pretty sure Airways is only talking about renewing the CRJ900 flying with Mesa.

Good news for some, but bad news for most of us.
