He may get more flying, and it will be a mess again, and screw it up, lose planes, furlough, then file BK as they did 2x's before and start over again. Its a scam operation and he keeps doing it over again. Look at MAG history, they got booted out of EVERY contract they ever did. Delta and UAL just a few years ago as most recent with each suing MAG. What is to say much has changed now? This movie has been played before. Be careful, I know people that went there being hasty on their growth, and got furloughed. They can't manage an operation out of a small jar, FYI.
You sound like the typical Mesa basher that goes by third hand information. Let me help you with some facts.
Mesa doesn't have the worst 76 seat pay (define the worst)
They have only filed BK once to my knowledge. I was there from 1999-2011.
Mesa has not been booted out of EVERY contract. They lost the DL flying the first time due to "poor performance" (out of JFK) The second time was due to them filing BK. Mesa has not been the only one DL has kicked to the curb.
They lost the UAL flying once but got it back.
They have gained flying with Airways.
Every airline that I know of that has filed BK has furloughed. Ask the Airways guys how many times they have been furloughed.
