So, new rumor I heard today. Possible new hire class in March. That is the reason we are soliciting to create a pool or resumes for late 09. Just a rumor. Take it for what it is worth.

What? They are taking apps for late '09 but rumor is they're hiring in early '09? I know it's not your rumor but how does that make sense? Also, any word on if the reasoning is a hope that Mesa takes a dump?

Don't bank on us taking a dump. Our pitiful pilot group just signed a contract that very well may save the company money. Don't let ALPA screw you like we've been screwed.

Best of luck to you guys, I hope you hire without the demise of another airline.

To my understanding, we hired people the beginning of 08 just never gave them a class date. This is how the rumor was explained to me. They would be given first priority, I think they just want to have a pool of resumes to go to in case we get more flying and I hope it doesn't come at a cost to someone else.

Also, it is my understanding they are hearing the grievance about the social security bridge this month. Doesn't really affect most of Piedmont except the really senior guys. But if that goes through you could see a few more retirements which would need to be filled eventually.

Kind of the point I am trying to get at, I hope it's not another rumor about Mesa folding because I don't see it happening. I know at PSA most of those rumors have stopped.

I don't see Mesa going anywhere, either.
