Thats in the plan. I think it will happen after we have 150 or so domestic aircraft. And I am hearing that we don't want to be locked into a single fleet type so the 777 may be in the mix. We'll see. The A350 would be pretty nice also!

Big difference bud. I know and have accepted that Mesa is a subpar and failing airline. I have enough invested in the airline (time wise) and am logging TPIC, so thus I won't leave unless the end is imminent. Not saying the end isn't coming for Mesa, but it isn't here yet.
I'm not the one on here professing Mesa's assured longevity in the industry, nor and I blowing smoke up everyone's rear end.
If that's talking crap then fine. I'm just calling it like I see it, and I don't see VA succeeding.

How many airplanes does VA have currently? 10 maybe.
They posted a $38 million dollar loss for 1/2 a quarter (during the same quarter major airlines made $250+ million a piece) and when oil was $70/barrel.
Wait until they get a few more airplanes flying until you start predicting 150 domestic airplanes, A330's, A340's, and 777's flying pacific routes...
God that koolaid must be good.

Really? That is "in" the plan eh? Would like to see this plan. Does it start with "once upon a time" by chance?

Perhaps I Am One Of The Few...
I think perhaps there are many pilots that just don't like pilots...
I am not one of them. I will never get caught up in the doom and gloom and predictions of demise. But then again, my last employer went out of business. Of course I didn't partake in all that crap before that happened either. Good Luck VA, I have many friends there and sincerely hope you guys are around for the long haul, literally and figuratively.
