While you first paragraph was thought out and informative the rest of your 2 cents is nothing more than opinionated garbage.

To address your first paragraph. I agree JO is a scumbag and I’ve said it on previous posts. But he is a scumbag that outmaneuvered your CEO for the 175 shipment. As far as the 737s are concerned, the reason it hasnt been announced is bc their are still is no contract between the pilot group and the company so the FAA had yet to approve it. Can’t announce something that isnt approved. But, the initial cadre group is suppose to start training in June and the company already owns 4 737s sitting up in CVG.

As far as the lawsuit, its an investment firm that claims JO withheld information during the IPO. The claim states that he withheld information regarding the maintenance of the crj900 fleet in DAL. If you knew anything about that situation you would know that when Mesa moved from CLT to DAL at AAs request, AA promised to cover a portion of the maintenance. They used Envoy to do our maintenance in DAL. Envoy not liking the fact Mesa moved into their house purposefully undermined Mesa abilities to operate. (it’s also a pretty tired fleet) There is also a lawsuit between Mesa and Envoy for their mechanics damaging several planes on purpose and a fuel truck slamming into 2 more. Now in saying all that, JO is a scumbag and probably withheld information. Lol. But even with that as of Nov of 2019 the stock was over $9 and in July 2019 was over $10. The only reason its down to $3 now is bc covid. The investment firm is just trying to save their own ass for stupid investing on their clients behalf.

Now to address the garbage portion of your statement. I actually know of a couple pilots at xjt that couldnt cut it at Mesa. 2 of which were let go for failure to complete the HIMS program. And there are several guys who couldnt cut it at xjt at mesa. So to make claims that either pilot group is superior in anyway is ridiculous. Nothing I have stated ever was designed to knock your pilot group.

As far as the B crewroom thing. I never heard of anyone doing the things your claiming. Not saying it didnt happen, but to judge an entire pilot group for one or two peoples actions is crazy. Every pilot group has bad apples. Just look at the RPA pilot that beat up his gf on the jet bridge. Are you going to go around and claim their whole Republic pilot group has anger problems.

Now when I was using the term shareholders I was referring to UA and ManaAir. That was my failure for not using the right terminology even though it seemed everyone else knew what I was talking about. But, I will try to be more specific for you next time. And what I said still stands. They would need to give up equity to the government and take out over a $40 million loan bc they cant offer stock warrants.

Your jumpseat comment was the dumbest thing Ive read. First off, you're not allowed in the jumpseat if there is a seat in the back its in violation of the GOM. For someone who claims to have been around as long as they have you seem to know very little. Secondly, Ive jumseated on xjt flights and most of the crews are pretty cool but I fail to see any difference in skill or professionalism that you claim.

My whole point on my previous statement was just an explanation on why Mesa is better positioned than XJT. And to make it simple for you its bc we actually got the Cares Act, we have assets, we fly better planes, currently have better bases bc covid areas, carry for 2 carriers instead of 1, and are cheaper for mainline to use. Things that people should take into consideration outside of pay when choosing a regional. Bc lets be honest there isnt that as much difference as you claim between any regional. Unless your a lifer, than I just feel sorry for you.
