Why on earth would JO, the cheapest man in the industry want to absorb another pilot group.

No, he doesn't want some 15 year AE Captain, he wants a 2 year YV CA sitting next to a 1 year YV FO flying his metal. It doesn't get any cheaper than that.

If your still not following, let me break this down. If we merge, he absorbs the seniority of whichever group is merged with Mesa. That is much higher labor cost than a complete Mesa new hire FOs, and newly upgraded captains.




I didn't say I thought it was a good idea just that I heard the rumor. Mergers at the regional level are rarely if ever a good thing.

Don't you think it's a wee bit hypocritical to blast pilots for not knowing as much as they think they do and then in your very next post be making such cocksure statements?
