Mesa hasn’t purchased those 20 175s yet. They are still a UAL order at Embraer and under UAL control. Mesa doesn’t take ownership or have to supply financing for the planes until delivery. Given the current global economic conditions that will be delayed a few months. Even Mesa’s management isn’t crooked enough to take on debt in a cash strapped environment.

I’m just correcting your misrepresentation of the fact. You haven’t bought them. Your employer hasn’t either. They are on someone else’s order. Your employer will not be taking delivery of them starting in May, doing so would be economically stupid.

Also the 550 project has been put on hold so the 700’s that Mesa was going to take out of service to be converted into the 550’s won’t be leaving the line for a while. Which also means there isn’t much room left under the scope.

It takes cash to pay for Shiny New Jets. With UAL’s traffic down 60+%. Mesa isn’t getting the flights it needs for revenue to pay the current bills, and with the 700’s not going out on lease Mesa definitely doesn’t have the cash to pay for the new 175s.

And I don’t doubt Mesa is conducting interviews, XJT is too.

And stop say “We” like you have a part in the process. You don’t those decisions are made way above your pay grade.
