Well so far it’s 37% at Republic (they did send 933 furlough notices via certified mail, not just email), 35% at PSA, 100% at expressjet, one third of pilots at United, 100% at TSA and Compass (even though that writing was pretty much already on the wall). I’d say the average is going to be a lot higher than 20%

As of right now this is where Mesa stands.

They currently are not hiring. They are however building a pool of qualified ATP licensed candidates. Rumors from the school house are that they are planning on bringing back the furloughed training classes (end aug/sep). Those furloughed classes will have to start from day 1 and sign a new contract that will contain No Bonus.

The AA side of Mesa is really hurting. The Ejet side however is alive and well. Even though people will grumble about flying only 65ish hr lines. Thats more of a systematic problem bc how the routes are built and keeping more people current. I believe for Aug that only the bottom 40-50ish FOs in IAH didnt have lines and they had FAs base assisting IAH all month.

As far as the 550s are concerned the rumor didnt come out of thin air. It started with a Q2 earnings call back in May, followed by a town hall meeting. In the Q2 A bank analyst for a large investor of Mesa asked the question if Mesa was capable of taking on the 550 flying if UA wanted or if the current Express carrier couldnt take on the flying. He answered by stating, we all know who that carrier is and how much they are struggling since covid. If they are unable to take deliver of a/c we are capable of doing the flying ourselves IF (big if) UA wants.

In the follow up town hall JO brought it up again and mentioned that there is a possibility of Mesa to open bases in ORD and EWR in 2021. That these bases IF (big if) were opened they would be manned by the 550s.

Now the rumors flying out of the glass palace in PHX are that JO had offered UA to do the conversions of the 700s to 550s himself with no cost to UA in exchange for UA giving us that flying. Remember those 700s belong to Mesa, not UA. JO can do as he pleases with them. With Mesa already having a current pilot group, fleet, and maintenance it is a relatively easy flow and makes more sense YV, not AWAC, to fly gojets planes IF (big if) gojet were to fold. JO will also under cut any offer AWAC makes to UA. Say what you want about cockroaches, they survive nuclear holocausts.

As far as furloughs are concerned I dont know how the CRJ guys feel bc of the AA contract is almost up and fear of not being renewed are there. Even though it seems like it will but at a smaller fleet size. But the EJET guys arent even thinking furlough. You just dont get that scents in the air.

People will talk **** about Mesa but at the end of the day we will survive, probably not furlough, and possibly expand. I rather be getting paid less and doing what I love than be standing in the unemployed line losing my house. And those same people will be dropping their airline apps in praying Mesa answers those prayers.

I expect us to get an update during Q3 earnings call on Aug 10th. I suggest you listen in bc some info will probably break.

No, it’s reverse seniority order. The guys that think they are safe because they are on the ejet are gravely mistaken. Especially with how senior the CRJ is compared to the ejet.
