In reviewing the stock analysts positions, it appears they are counting on Mesa’s United contracts to be extended in one form or the other. All major firms list Mesa as a “buy”.

I know they call them street hires but cmon it’s the same company that’s not a street hire. My problem is that in this supposed pilot shortage we are flying tons of AA metal and almost no one is getting hired. To AAs credit they’ve always said go to Envoy PSA and Piedmont to get to AA

Some pilots just around 1,000 121 and other pilots years after they have given up hope on a major hiring them.
