You can't make a deposit into an ATM?

Actually I can and I did...but I shouldn't have to. Just inconvenient when it could have been directly deposited. Oh well, just glad I got my last paycheck on time....I was thinking they would find some reason to hold it from me.

I know this is maybe a little late, but I'm pretty sure when you file each week, that you only have to declare the money you earned that week, not received. For instance, I just did my claim online yesterday for last week, so I only had to claim money that I earned between 11/22 and 11/28, which if I had worked, I would have received the next week (this week). You earned that money at the end of October, while you were still employed, and are just receiving it now, so I don't think you should claim it at all. Hope that makes sense.

AP for the last 3 weeks has been unusually boring. I think they are simply not answering any further questions about furloughs/new planes/future plans. There has literally only been 6-8 questions for the last 3 weeks, and no real information that would be news to anyone. As far as the 200 rumor goes, its still floating around the line, but nobody seems to have any evidence other than 'i heard from so & so'.

Honestly, I think just as likely is that in order to save Mesa, Airways sells the PDT fleet and allows mesa to operate those 50 seat CRJs on PDT routes. Airways then wouldn't have to worry about replacing mesa's 90 seaters if mesa does go BK. Really Airways doesn't have any ability to replace that Mesa flying, and 30-something 90 seaters is a whole lot of flying. Surely mesa would be so thrilled to stay alive they would agree to further concessions in order to bring their 50 seaters to PDTs routes, and to boot Airways may actually make some short term cash in selling the DHC8-100s. Another "Liquidity Improvement Program". It may not be flowers and sunshine, but really I think its just as likely a scenario as PDT getting Mesa's dashes.

I tend to agree with that prediction except for the fact that MESA has mounds of debt and leases on several aircraft. I don't see airways bailing them out of that hole even if they wanted to.

I don't think it will happen, but who knows crazy stuff has happened
in aviation before because there's no more logic. But if what you said come to pass, i swear there will be world war THREE from the piedmont pilots group...
