Everyone will be standing in line to hire most all the pilots, and most everyone else.

I hate that in the back of my mind, I wouldn't be surprised if they manage to recover given their reputation and history. I'd be sorry for the pilot group and all the support staff but would love to see this one finally die its well-deserved end.
The death should be management, like all the others those "leaders" have screwed the company and employes. I remember Braniff, Eastern, Pan Am, Comair, etc all too well. Walked away with millions while many walked the furlough road.

Agreed. I'd like to see JO, that piece of **** CP Witman, the useless Union Prez, and most of HR get strung up for show somewhere.

To those who replied....again, it was just an observation. I couldn't give a damn what their financial status is. The point is that they are still in operation. Tell me, where's Colgan, ASA, ACA, Expressjet, Chatauqua, Comair, etc....?

That's the point that I'm making. Nuff said.

I'm not too bright.

What's the point you're trying to make? Are you trying to say Mesa is well-run compared to the others becaue they're gone?

Seriously do not understand what point you're trying to make.

Alcohol. Always place at least 20 feet from the car keys, and the keyboard, or get a designated typist.

Elaborate on these "growing pains" in 2006?

If you think about, the regionals were in their prime and running like crazy at that time.

RAH, SKW, and XJT being the biggest and well run.

Sure, names have changed, some don't exist anymore, etc.

And with the exception of CAL, there wasn't a SINGLE legacy bankruptcy contract. Meaning, there was NO scope recapture.

In1992 I was furloughed for Wings West (American Eagle). Until recently, all the regionals sucked.
