Keep dreaming babe.
I know you want your people off the street but we're working our ass off to keep people in their jobs here. As far as UA goes, we're kicking ass. Completion rate is sky high as is on time performance.
For the first time in a long time we are properly staffed. That is showing in our performance data.
It'd be genius for UA to breach the contract with one of their cheapest regionals, thus incurring more $ when they've already peed away almost 800 million this quarter alone.

Why do you thing that Delta and United are trying to get rid of MESA FreeDumb. I’m sure not because they have the best performance. Being the cheapest does not mean everything. It just means that you guys are willing to work for subpar wages and lower the industry standards. I would not be proud of being the cheapest in the industry and being a bottom feeder. Have pride in what you do and ask for what you deserve. You guys make me sick.

We all have our own opinions of Mesa. And I am no Mesa supporter by all means, but I am sick of hearing the whole "Oh, IF Mesa goes under, we are going to get all the airplanes and all their flying". Of course it would be nice, and I would love for this to happen, but I don't see it. Even IF they would go under, who says DL will give it to us? We are just so dependant on Mesa going out of business. And it is hard for Comair to go out and try to get other flying with our high operations costs (pilot group). Personally, and this is just my opinion, we will end up at the bottom of this whole merger mess, and unless we can get some other flying I keep seeing this company going down hill. And I hate to say this, but I am also expecting more displacements and furloughs in a few more months...

Heard today that they are going to possibly furlough 300 more F/As. Apparently it is on the "My Job" page for F/As on Epic. Just what I heard, can anyone confirm?? Is that even possible? How many F/As do we have total?

Wow... I am the only short call reserve in CVG50 that is available for the rest of the day... everybody else has trips and is sitting ready. Tomorrow I go 1 in 7 so they really cant do anything with me anyway. Today is going to be interesting. With most rsv's breaking guarantee and one at 97 hours for the month... I guess we need to furlough more.
