It's good for you all if they are still hiring anyone. Though I suppose they could hire someone in the morning and close the doors the next day. The more I learn about the industry the crazier it gets.

lol commutair and mesa merging isnt happening.
The REAL most likely scenarios is either:
A) United and Mesa agree to a REAL contractual United flow like the American Airlines wholly owned do to AA (envoy, piedmont), no fine print BS
B) United and Mesa part ways as you said and they would only be a cargo carrier for DHL and maybe create another contract with Amazon, etc.
C) United buys Mesa and all Mesa pilots become United pilots.
Come back to this post next month and see how right I was.

I think it's C with the help united.
Ejets going to commutair and c5 145s are getting phased out. Mesa pilots will be placed in some sort of flow program to UA or given some sort of merge into c5. CRJs phased out. Mesa will attempt to expand cargo with united taking a bigger stake.
