im gonna have to agree with gtech. yes brad did a good job turning the company around. but, like gtech said, we've furloughed for the first time, our schedules and quality of life are worse now than in the LePrick days, we're shrinking, and wasnt last quarter the first time we have lost money in a while. im not saying all these things are brad's fault by any means but it does raise the question of why almost every asa pilot thinks brad is a savior.

Well said. Running a business with the well being of your employees being your first priority will run you quickly out of business. Especially in this industry. If you want to work for a company where the company looks after your well being first there's only one way to do it.....start your own business

alright. in my infinite wisdom i predict that there will be no more furloughs in 2009. they will wait until they realize that mesa is NOT going completely out of business (yes their delta future does not look good, but i dont think any other dci will gain because of it) thus ending their 'plan' for the 20 200's. i would expect more furloughs after that. not sure how many. i really hope im wrong and i hope they do have a plan.

The maximum number that can be furloughed is 60 before they hit the no furlough clause. You don't know what you don't know.
