Last I heard the classes being postponed might have had something to do with a budget meeting, but thats just a rumor. I highly doubt all bases are properly staffed as I still hear they are junior assigning people... If anything I would imagine the attrition rate would be skyrocketing or at least holding steady.

I don't have a problem with that. Oil price at record high probably calls for extraordinary measures. What I don't understand is why do we have to find out the reason for the delay or cancellation through a rumor mill.
Accepting the racall and returning to work is a big deal and it involves many life organizing events for responsible human beings such as notifying the current employer (it could be a local Walmart manager or a Delta chief pilot) when you would resign to go back to Mesa and fly airplanes again. I feel the company should do a better job communicating with the pilots on furlough, instead of just printing "postponded" on the company website and hope they would eventually figure out why and for how long on their own.

Right now recalls are in direct proportion to attrition.

Which is the most stupid idea of all time. Without some sort of forcast recall, You are guaranteed to fall behind and become short staffed because of the training gap. All the while more people are quitting which compunds the problem...Oh wait were already having problems/cancelling for staffing in PHX and now it had bled over to ORD... unacceptable

Funky Twins, they will only really keep you informed when it benefits them, until they need you, you will probably just sit around and wonder. Frustrating, I know. It's sort of like being in an abusive relationship. Mesa is the abuser, the furloughed pilots are the abusees. I partly blame the union because they aren't doing the greatest job of keeping people up to date as well...

I can't believe the cancellations and short staffing has moved to ORD, everyone that is still there is pretty senior from what I understand. Well, I guess some things will never change and management is yet to learn its lesson. The cat that is management has used about 8 of its 9 lives as far as I'm concerned.

I guess so!

I was thinking that if they can have the ramp tower or even our great ATC tell us to call the company while we are taxing or flying, have a very friendly messenger waiting for us at the gate on the last leg of my 5-day trip to deliver a very special message that I was just junior-assed, if they can go through this much trouble to tell us that we are just junior assigned, they can certainly send a simple email to those who accepted the recall that the recall is postponed due to whatever reason and for how long so we can plan things properly.

Agree Barbie at that rate, United won't consider to renew the next 5 RJ contract. With few new Board of Directors in place, why J.O still there? This is deja vu back in 2007 the massive exodus.
