Come on man. You have to jump back on this train again. I have backed off. But you just can't help it. I don't keep up with online pranking pop culture so I took "COME AT ME BRO" as a threat. But I now realize you guys are just a few younger jokesters. And stop saying "I bet he doesn't lift". A lot of guys in aviation lift. My friend that flies for Allegiant starts his warmup at three plates a side. Yes you guys got me and I made myself look like an ass. But I'm done.

I have many friends that are airline pilots that lift more than I do.
"I bet he doesn't even lift"
"Come at me bro"

Does anybody know anything about the 750,000,000 dollar loan Mesa has secured and what they might do with it? I was told this loan was secured in August. United owns the E Jets, 10 new CRJ 9's would only be 320,000,000 if Airways wanted us to buy the aircraft. Not trying to set up flamebait, this was told to me by a few credible sources.
People don't realize how connected J.O. And really how stubb*rn this man is?
*this is not intended to be flamebait

I've been hearing this as well...basically what has been said is that United wants MAG to fly 60ejets for UAX (IDK the exact #)...however on the same coin realizes that MAG has no pilots nor really strong prospects to attract pilots yet offers the cheapest services. In order to avoid contractual protections and compensation to attract applicants MAG has secured a line of credit to purchase a fellow regional purely to park said regionals aircraft and to employ the then plane-less pilot. Which one ... Well which one seems most lucrative towards JO and is now the read headed step child of US/AMR post merger? Eagle (50seaters and a strong yet costly pilot group.) or is it piedmont (aging dash 8s and stronger pilot group than PSA.) Clearly a regional will be loadshed and heaven help any thats ends up contractually stapled to MAG. Everything is purely hearsay...however MAG has now ramped up hiring again with a class of 27 or so that just started in PHX. All shows

You think Mesa will make a similar move? I assume it will be known after the court hearing with US Airways and American on 11/25. I guess if we don't here anything several months after that it didn't work out, or was not true.

For pilots alone?
It would be about 47x cheaper to bump first year pay to $50000.

I've been hearing they are buying all Mesa crew members (pilots and FAs) gym memberships. Rumor is management has been told about the other regionals saying bad stuff about the Mesa crews and wants all crew members to be able to pump up and say:
