It does appear (hopefully) that Mesa's existance is limited and will become one of the future casualities of current times. Mesa is persona-non-grata at Delta and eventually will be dumped one way or the other. Apparently UAL isn't far behind.

Mesa and it's head clown are no longer the interest of the major airline industry and it's reputation is now uniformly in the doghouse with all their associated majors. They're almost out of cash, losing money and no investor with an ounce of intelligence would fork over money to that clown and his minions.

IMO, they internally know their days are numbered and they're in the house cleaning process of making sure they come out as rich as possible after the collapse.

So the question is, should 1600 pilots pay the price to eradicate this insect from this industry ?

The sad answer is YES !

I hate to see any pilot go unemployed, but the greater good of the industry demands the removal of this parasite. He's been sucking the blood of the host (this industry) for too long. It's going to be unfortunate that 1600 pilots held onto this executives underwear for so long, but that was a choice freely made with all the information available to evaluate that decision properly.
