Looks like there will probably be about 270 pilots furloughed from Mesaba as a result of this nonsense. It didn't take Delta long to screw the Mesaba pilot group.
Thats crazy, I remember like 1 or 2 years ago Mesaba was the only ariline even hiring and they were hiring like crazy even going as far as off the street captains.
Thats the way delta works, one week you're the favorite and the next week someone else is. At one point ASA and Comair were putting the squeeze on Skywest in SLC now you see 50 seaters in atl and cvg with skywest on the side and an almost exclusive presence in SLC
