Do you think Mesa will offer a furlough party for us before we hit the streets? Maybe get some Qdoba from the A Gates catered?

If it tanks bad enough we can buy AA with our 1/4 billion.

Yes, but what kind of financial liabilities will you incure?

Anyone who’s ever run a business will understand. How do you think most companies get to the size they are? Mergers and Acquisitions. If we elect to say a 50% paycut that will save the company millions, Over time couple that with our pilot group electing to cut health benefits and disability we’d be positioned to make a bid on pretty much any airline that files. In conditions like these we need to be proactive rather than reactive.

Welcome to a seniority-based system.

Dude, if you end up homeless, send me a pm. I've got a couple of rooms empty in my mansion.

No thanks on the recall. Back to corporate flying it is for me, permanently. Thanks for the hiring bonus though!!

You're an embarrassment to this industry, you and your greed. If we get a proposal to take a 40/50 hour lines and keep everyone on board you bet I'm all for it!

You want a 40 hour line helping others out? Simply drop 2 4-day trips, and voilà, there is your 40 hour line.

You want to be the hero, saving the near furlough pilot, DO it, just DO it!!!
