Skyone, haven't you asked that questions several time on other posts? If you read his many posts, you'll see what airline he works for. He isn't hiding at all, you're just not really looking.

Word is $15 for FO's and you have to clean the isles, drain the juice, wax the plane and powder the stones. I can't wait. You'll have a line of Mesa guys looking for a better life.

That is definately a cut on my MESA! Not my Mesa Brethren.

Ryane946,

Ask other furloughed pilots from some of those legacy companies how many times they have been furloughed in their career at those airlines., Ex. NWA, DAL, American etc. I believe the NWA, DAL job is just as risky as Skybus, VA. I wouldnt touch any of these legacies. When things go bad you are on the street. Atleast at SWA, JB and Airtran, FedEX they treat their employess with respect and work with them to prevent layoffs. None of those four laid any pilots off after 911. The rest of the majors did and has a long history of it. In V's defense I agree with a Alpa National pilot seniority with all airlines and I am encouraged with the JB possibility for ALPA. Nothing is stopping anyone from promoting ALPA at these new start ups. Give them a reason to come on board instead of turning them away and shunning them. The divide and conqueor attitude does not work.

Moose,
You're right, I have posted this on numerous other threads. He IS hiding. He won't deny or admit that it might be Alaska or CAL. He is laughing green, knowing he can pull everyone's chain. But nevertheless, to me, his posts are meaningless now. He doesn't want to answer to anyone, afraid of consequences of his idiotic JS rantings. I would be interested in one post where he says, "I work for ....." But he is not all that important. He is probably an outcast at his own airline and enjoys the attention I and others have given him.

Northwest
US Air
Frontier
Alaska
Air Tran


ryane946, it's definitely better that you take that pilot job, since your "Airline Stock Picks" on the MAJOR board titled BUY AIRLINE STOCKS NOW! didn't fair so well. Wouldn't want you as my investment advisor.

It's the next NEW MESA. I ran into a Female Mesa 1900D Captain going for an interview at SkyBus. I told her she was crazy, but if you are a MESA 1900D CA, you probably already are crazy.

The email I just got from Skybus says FO's get 35k plus 1200 stock options. Upgrade time 6-12 months. I'm not too sure why everyone expects them to compete with established airlines before they fly a single revenue flight.
