Ok I hear you. But SK has been paying the Mesa pilots salaries. JO just made a huge announcement about all of Mesa flying and planes will be exclusive to UA. Do you really think JO sent that email out without SK blessing? Do you really think he’s going to bite the hand that feeds him? Do you really think that email was just to stop bleeding before a BK? I’m not just directing these questions to you but everyone in this thread. There has to be more to this unfolding situation that we don’t know. The flying has to be covered and we aren’t talking about a 12-18 month transition this is 3 months out. UA can’t afford to let Mesa go BK and lose all that lift 3 months from now.
