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.
I thought the 110 furloughed were due to the 10 Saabs and the overstaffing situation that happened due to the anticipated over hiring for the 900 hundreds that we didn't get. I don't think the next number is in the 130 ballpark. I'd say half of that.
