So do I have this right. They're first awarded to Mesa, then Comair, the "temp" to 9E, then Mesaba and now ASA???? Does upper management have a CLUE what they are doing???? Each airline 2 of which are wholly owned, 1 might as well be wholly owned all incured expenses to prepare for these planes. It's as if they shook the magic 8 ball for their answer.

We old timers at Mesaba won't lose any sleep over this. Contrary to popular belief our **** does stink. It's pretty rank actually. We've been beaten down before and have pushed through. This is nothing. My best wishes to guys/gals who had a class date get cancelled. Sorry this obviously wasn't in our control. Best of luck to you.

You pretty much have it right... I've been burned and beaten by Delta twice now in the last 2 months, furloughed OH, 11/08, Jan 5 XJ class canceled 7 days before class. Thanks for the late notice DL, I already put in my two weeks at my computer course development job.... so I 'got nothin' now. Only hope is Comair responding to my app about a course development vacancy....

I hope this award to ASA doesn't cost any jobs over at Mesaba. Clearly not our intention

Well, it'll take some major outside-the-box thinking to stop this insanity.

Sadly, I don't think that ALPA pilots have been abused nearly enough to start thinking outside the box. So the beatings shall continue...

I'm in what I guess is the last class, which started on Dec 15. I wonder what we are going to hear tomorrow when we walk into class........

I'm all for outside the box... but I haven't even had the chance to get involved....

Can someone go their whole career working for different airlines for < 2 years and get furloughed at every single one of them?.... I'm starting to see a trend.... I'd hate to be a career 1st/2nd year pay FO for the rest of my life.

Diver... your career goal should be to get into management. Then you can whipsaw the monkeys left and right - they'll **** and moan, but they won't do a thing, and you'll get a nice, fat bonus. Oh, wanna fly? Just take your bonus money and buy yourself a nice little Cessna 210.
