JO needs to save his pennies for the upcoming undeferable maintenance on the 700-900s to the tune of $100 million or more.
Some recalls have been moved up to June since the attrition last month was 10 pilots.Management seemed to be shocked by this..No one else was.My bet is that fewer than 10 pilots will show up for the recall class.Management is under the impression that all the furloughs will come back...They are about as sharp as a marble.

Are you sure about the recalls being moved up? Last I heard they were simply speculating. Attrition for this month is already over 12.

The weekly email from Mike F stated June , but that could have changed again already.Not surprised about 12 this month so far.Just wait until they lose 30-40 every month here on out until they lose another codeshare then it's game over.

I noticed that US Airways is hiring now. Maybe this will dramatically increase the attrition rate.

Mesa/indigo won't be able sell for six months but they estimate making 126 mil after taxes. Indigo I'm sure will get there share and Mesa gets the rest.

From what I read was that the purpose of the IPO was to raise capital to "pay off" Indigo. Apparently they opted to issue them common stock instead?

Well, in that case it's just more shares for Indigo to sell. The ones they represent on behalf of Mesa will be sold, but it probably won't cover a fraction of the bills needing to be paid. 3/4 of that 126 mil figure would make up the 72 mil owed the Bank of Scottland for canceled leases, the rest might cover the creditors that run Mesa, but they would still retain control. I could think of some ways that would empower them to make a power play type move...

Congrats sir! I wish you good luck! In fact, I wish ALL my people still at Mesa good luck. I loved working with all of you (okay that's a lie... more like 98% of you, lol) and we always made the best out of a bad situation. Great pilot group.

Oh - and if I ever hear the word [deleted] in my life again, I'll probably just puke.
