I got the impression that he doesn't want to raise our pay so he can use the low pilot cost as a negotiation tactic for contracts. Also, who the heck was that FA that called in and wanted instructions on how to find things on the company site?!?! Home girl has been sucking on the emergency O2 way too long

Someone asked Robert Isom about a flow from Mesa (and XJT, and Republic) to American on one of the recently recorded town hall meetings. He said that if anyone wants to flow to American they need to join one of the wholly owned carriers. He also implied that if any of the other carriers could not fulfill the terms of their contracts there would be repercussions.

I think you may have misunderstood what he was talking about - was refering to a 135 operation to Mesa FO type deal. Not a Mesa to Mainline flow....

Question: When you said they mentioned getting rid of all 50 seaters in 5 years did they mean that getting rid of our one 50 seater. Or the 50 seaters in the AA and or UAL side?

He implied all 50 seaters operating in the AA & UAL systems would be parked by the end of the decade.

He made several points about Skywest securing additional flying because they have 50 & 70 seaters to use as bargaining chips, and I got the sentiment throughout the call that JO has zero interest in operating 50-seaters ever again--pretty much killed these insane rumors of us flying 145s or 200s for AA/Delta.

That chick was litterally dogging Jonathan for personally answering emails? Like that's a bad thing???

It would have been a cold day in h$ll before Bedford or Heller ever personally answered an email at my previous employer.

That chick litterally has me irate... then goes onto ask why forms had been moved to different places on the website and where are they?

Who was that nut job????

IDK, but you could hear the frustration in her voice when JO basically told her to pound sand and call someone else for the info she wanted haha...that in itself was worth the 2hr call

Nope I listened to the whole thing. In one of his answers he said they were working with "a carrier" on a flow through that would give our pilots the opportunity to fly "larger equipment". Everyone automatically jumps to the conclusion that it would be United or American. Think outside the box it could be an Allegiant type operation or not even a passenger airline at all or it could all be BS, but that is what he said.

Fair enough, Allegiant wouldn't surprise me. Mesa has some ex Management pilots in Management there I believe.....
