I don’t get it, but nothing would surprise me at this point with Mesa and United.

Only question I have for the UA pilots. When do you think we find out about JO’s and SK’s secret love affair???
Mesa and United’s love affair long predates Kirby. Like 1990’s vintage.

These small jets belch carbon and exacerbate climate change, disproportionately affecting already disadvantaged groups. A person flying on a regional jet has nearly double the carbon footprint as a person flying on a widebody. Sadly America has too many privileged people living in smaller towns who feel entitled to hourly service.

I would forget about them. Fly charter jets instead.

I’d love for you to provide examples of small towns still receiving hourly service to a hub.

Kirby’s responses

2% a month flow per month to united through the Aviate program. First day of Indoc to United would be 4 years

No scope issues, will park ERJs to fly crjs

Domiciles will remain the same

Not buying Mesa/Not absorbing

Deal will be done/finalized by the end of the year. “All we have to do is cross the ts and dot the i’s”


Oresteins responses

Said Mesa asked to get out of American deal

Opening a base in Denver

Trying to increase training numbers but short on LCA/instructors

Played a song from his phone he made through artificial intelligence. Rap song. “Switching it up I’m dropping American for United “. (Yes I’m not kidding, super cringe)

A 40 seat crj900 to make the scope weight restriction while ****ing off the united pilots, mechanics, and flight attendants? Things that never happened for 1000 Alex.

So how does this impact us? Maybe we get another hiring pipeline, maybe throw a wrench into AA's operation? Another big move that costs a lot of $$$$ that isn't a new contract?

Because Mesa does not have enough pilots to fly all their ERJs. They do have pilots to fly 900's who currently fly for Eagle but after that ends, they will start flying for UAX.

Watch the video of Kirby's presentation. No scope issues. 1:1 trade from ERJs to 900's.
