Estimated total of 800 pilots with furloughs going thru April, just got the email. Depending on the number of voluntary furloughs, it'll put the most junior pilot as a Feb 2006 hire.

Wow, sorry to hear it guys. Best of luck to everybody.

"These reductions will obviously result in additional furloughs. We presently expect to reduce staffing by approximately 300 pilots from this date forward, bringing the total active MAG pilot staffing to approximately 800 pilots."
115 inactive pilots on the rosters this month
depending on how the VOL furloughs go, probably looking close to Jan 07 hire.
I just hope the CRJ becomes the JR airplane so i can get the F out of CVG.

I like how Johnny claims it to be the issue of "50-seaters" being the problem. Of course, didn't UAL just announce the replacement of that flying with.......................50-seaters ?

My guess is that Mesa may not even be an airline in another 2 years.

How many aircraft does mesa operate for UAL...50 seaters? XJet just got 22.... 50 seat a/c for UAL. Wonder if UAL is shrinking the overall 50 seat market at the end of all this....

...might want to make that "Mesa or UAL" may not even be an airline in another 2 years...

Mesa has 26, so not much shrinkage, if any. XJT probably doesn't need as many spares as mesa :rolleyes:

Yep and ASA got 15. 22+15=37 50 seaters, so that's a net plus.

Nothing I would call "significant shrinkage"

J.O. probably has "shrinkage" after this--in the Seinfeld sense. :eek:
