If they furloughed them there Dash operation would be hurt. They will run the Displacement probably during the Last week of December. Once this happends, those pilots will be furloughed. It never said in that email that they are hiring those pilots back that lost there job. They just furloughed enough to keep the Dash running. We will see how nice they are come the first of the month.
We've already been over this, but if you insist on going there again, the very first line of the memo states that Mesa WILL NOT be furloughing any pilots. Six paragraphs down in a statement about how Mesa will be a little fat on pilots for the next little while J.B. mentions that although we will be overstaffed, it means 150 pilots will have a job this holiday season and through these tough economic times. He's simply stating the fact that because their not going to furlough, people will have jobs this holiday, that's it. It's just filler. Why would Mesa announce furloughs over three months ago, say the furloughs were going to happen in October, sit on them for three months delaying and delaying them and then cancel them after all of that, just to reinstate them two weeks later? Open your eyes.
