My 2 cents
Word is theres a budget meeting in the near future (this week?) and management wants to make the financial numbers look as good as possible. Training expenses are obviously a big drain on a financial statement. Perhaps this is a reason to delay the much needed recalls. Problem is management is going to put Mesa back in the same position we were in in 2007 when there was a mass pilot exodus.
Reading the previous posts might make one think there isnt much future for a furloughed pilot at Mesa. The only positive thing i can foresee happening is a buyout or merger. I'm only hoping they are making the numbers look good so they can sell us to another company.
One thing Mesa has is a reserve/glut of pilots (ie: 400+ furloughs). Granted most wont come back but when other regionals run out of staffing and cant fulfill the staffing requirements of their contracts, Mesa may be at an advantage to winning future contracts. (Or be an attractive acquisition target).
