Whether it’s right or wrong nothing in the Mesa contract, that Alpa National approved, specifies any preferential hiring order and in fact leaves the hiring explicitly and entirely up to the company.
Clause 1-F spells it out if anyone wants to look it up.

this is correct

its not about the Mesa contract or any agreement with the Mesa MEC or ALPA National. This is 100% attached to United’s SCOPE. If you do not comply you do not get to operate as United express. This is way above the pay grade of anyone on this board. This LOA is most likely included somewhere in the operational contract between United and Mesa.
in normal times Mesa can hire whoever they want.
