For the first time in a long time we are properly staffed. That is showing in our performance data.
It'd be genius for UA to breach the contract with one of their cheapest regionals, thus incurring more $ when they've already peed away almost 800 million this quarter alone.
I am currently in the hiring pool for Comair and American Eagle. I am flight instructing and have been for some time. Even if Mesa was hiring I would not send my app in. I could have sent it in 1.5 years ago when I qualified but I would not go to that level. We had guys that werent good enough pilots to flight instruct and did not get hired at my flight school that went directly to the right seat at Mesa/Freedom. In my opinion, Mesa brings down the industry and I hope the go out of business. Pilots have seen their paychecks get sliced and sliced due to some internal but mostly external forces but to have pilots undercutting pilots is simply terrible and unforgiveable. Now, I know people will say that it is the contract that Mesa signed and its not the pilots fault. Hey, you went to work for that company.
I would rather flight instruct for the next 5 years than work for Mesa.
