What a dork. He aint gonna make FL510...ever. Thats its certified ceiling, but he wont see it in South America. Trust me on this one, lets just call it experience.
Glad too see he's gone though....Mesa seems to have quite a few like him...at least when I was there.

I can't imagine many places in the US or in the world where there is not an X- Mesa pilot who knows WC. He really made the rest of his career difficult for himself, all for nothing!!!!!!!!!!!!!

From my experience, there are tyrants who fall through the cracks and weasel into positions of influence in every airline. Period. I’ll back up 99% of Mesa pilots as stand up, great sticks, who keep their cool when things go south, and a good person to have a beverage around BBQ with when the day is done.

I've ridden on your guys jumpseat a couple of times, and it was definitely a pleasure! Very cool crews, and professional in every way.

I think most people would agree that RAH essentially caused Mokulele to become unprofitable.

Mokulele was doing fine until it tried to take on the inter-island market against HA and YV.

Latest communique from the scare crow; 374 still furloughed with recall rights. July, Aug, Sep, classes remain unchanged. Additional classes TBA. FAA is working through its process to allow Mesa to use Apple iPad EFB’s on the aircraft.

Of the 374 I wonder how many have already moved on and havent told the company or how many will actually come back...

Yea, that’s the $64,000 question. There were some unrealistic return expectations on the 7th and 11th, The recall rate is going to drop off exponentially as the call backs go out to the pilots who’ve been gone for a couple years+.
