I got my furlough notice today with no recall plan. Pretty soon I'll be in a fetal position saying "I'll never let go, Jack!"

Hang in there guys!


Sorry to hear BLS.

Can they furlough even though they’re ceasing operations? Is there a benefit to the pilot group or is this some scheme by corporate to avoid “plant closure” laws or the like?

Hope you’re on a Bus soon and this is all
behind us.

It was only new hires in training. I do not mean to minimize the impact. Just saying no line pilots yet but with the UA reduction I’m not sure how we avoid it.

What’s your source for that. I didn’t see many (any) among DFW ca.

Wait for it. It's coming. All is well enough for the time being

This furlough notice was only sent to the pilots going through initial training. It has not hit any line pilots as of now. Mesa is a great place to work, I love it here and I hope that we, as well as all the other regionals stay afloat during these crazy times. To the many friends I know going through training that received the furlough notice, stick in there, and everyone stay optimistic!

I had a class date for next month. I did not get a cancelation or a copy of this email. I assume the class date is no longer valid? Nothing from my recruiter either?

Assume all pax airline classes are cancelled. Many cargo ops are still hiring, I'd apply there before thousands of experienced pilots hit the pavement.

Shortly after I posted this I got a call from Mesa. They have postponed my start date but not canceled it. I should hear about something for June they said.
