Default Another Mesa Employee Screwed by Mesa...

"And he said it’s not clear whether the incident — in which Mesa Airlines superiors had mistakenly assured her she’d be safe to work routes outside the US — would derail her path to citizenship..."

I just don't know how this took six weeks to gain traction. You'd think management would have been on this from day one, immediately releasing public statements for her release. Props to The Points Guy for finally igniting the social media firestorm.

They only care about completion factor, even if one of their expendable flight attendants gets expended.

Crew tracking probably threatened her with a UFW, which is a big deal for FAs being on points

The FA's would have a higher QOL working at Dennies.

While I'm not going to defend Mesa on this - didn't this FA know she wasn't a citizen?

Even if an employer is dishonest, doesn't the ultimate responsibility lie with the individual? Especially considering she disclosed her status prior to getting hired?

And why in the hell would Mesa hire a non-citizen, knowing the nature of the job would take the person across international borders?

None of this makes any sense. Am I missing something?

Why the heck would they not hire a non-citizen?

Dreams can stay if they turn over their parents.
Parents for papers!
