My thoughts exactly. Instead of better money, Mesa usually has the quicker upgrade (which pays better money). Mesa gets more airplanes, and then the new people come in for the growth. I'm sure they'll try that again, but I'm curious if it'll work this time...where will the pilots come from? And if a better contract isn't enough, what tricks will they find?

Well like I said, I think it's too late for money to work the way they would want it to. And no one upgrades if you don't attract new hires. The American flying is going to be the first to feel the sting of the pilot shortage. They have prepared the least for what is coming. And I also think they will be the first to be flying 900s and 175s at mainline. What choice will they have? Their regionals won't be able to do it (WO or otherwise) and they won't just forsake their regional lift. They will bite the bullet so to speak and poney up the money for mainline pilots to fly them. Or they will bring the WOs into the mainline fold, though I think this scenario is the least likely. Either way, I think there will be some hard times ahead for the regionals before things get better.

I know I have been negative about this company in the past, but ALL of you have false hope. The wages are low, so the investors can get as much money before the doors close. The writing is on the wall. "WAKE UP!!!! There is no pulling this company back into profit, and everybody knows it but you guys. I have been warning you guys for a long time. Get out, before you get locked out. There was no real plan to try to save this company, they will take the money and run, and no last paycheck. I give it less than a year. If they had good intentions, they would have done "something, anything" like the other regionals.

Our CKA are good guys. Out to help pilots not vice versa. Most of those guys would quit if asked to fail someone purposefully.
