What do you mean its ok quick time? I am not sure what that means.
Mesa is trying to spin off into the media that they are "shocked and will appeal" when in reality that is wishful thinking. This was a ruling in Federal Bankruptcy Court. If you notice in the media lately Mesa is scraping its hardest to come out with happy press releases to save the stock price but in reality there is not a lot of happy stuff coming out of there right now. Just scan through this-

http://www.tradingmarkets.com/.site/...de=relatednews NEW 900s for DELTA yayyy.... now how will we staff them?
The thing that I love about the Delta flying is that Delta owns the 900s and can pull them from Mesa and give them to a better Delta Connection carrier who can staff them with safe and well rested pilots.
Sure, Mesa may continue to scrounge for low time SJS but the numbers are lingering and more and more CFIs are in the know of how crappy Mesa is.
It's a criminal company. Withholding pay from pilots monthly, standup overnights, a $12,000 training contract (you can't afford to quit), abusive schedulers, MELs daily, disrespect from other pilots.
FYI Mesa's pilot contract has been ammendable for two months now. Management won't even RELEASE the negotiating commitee from flying the line for two reasons- 1) they are too short staffed 2) JO won't even let his pilots fight for equality and better pay, or even more than 8 days off a month.
At this point anyone that considers MAPD or interviewing at Mesa is not making good decisions. Why would you apply at Enron? Build your hours and get hired at Skywest, ExpressJet, Comair or Republic.
