Word from someone in training is that mesa furloughed the new hires because they want to put the ERJ guys into CRJ training before it's too late, they see the writing on the wall. Good for the ERJ guys, at least then they don't have to furlough out of seniority when the time comes. I do agree though that Mesa is seriously F'd, not sure about Airways but they can't staff their planes, they can't do anything on time, enjoy it while it lasts.
