You have it backwards. The new currency is pilots. The flying goes to the airlines that can staff it. Mesa won't staff their flying if they can't attract new hires. Mesa is in trouble. And at this point it would take considerable pay increases (not likely) AND additional airframes to make them attractive. Remember, you don't upgrade if you can't hire FOs onto the bottom of the list.

A lot of guys getting ORD out of training. I'd say worst case scenario if they sent you to Newark, it'd only be a few months to get to ORD.

Agreed. Mesa is in trouble.
