I’m glad we are getting 6 months of pay out of this, but let’s be honest about it. The axe will drop come October 1st. All this does is gives them time to draft the furlough lists and determine what percentage of the company they still need.

Also Mesa is not in a good spot, NO regional or airline is in a good spot. Who is Mesa going to fly for when United and/or AA goes bankrupt? All regionals are just contractors, when big daddy goes broke the flying stops.
