The first of the 2 new USX 900s hit the line Monday. The second will go on line April 9.

Also this past Monday 13 recall/new hire pilots started ground school. There we 6 pure new hires so here we go and welcome aboard. As noteworthy if not more, 9 of our pilots started Captain Upgrade training on the same day.

Need some honest feedback. I personally think that anyone who previously qualified and upgraded as a Mesa Captain should be entitled to wear the 4 stripes he or she earned regardless of the seat they now occupy. My opinion is a bit moot and defer to the group.

That is the latest, direct from the company informer. Just 13. That was the last of the furloughs. All new hires from now on.
