He lost his battle with Hawaiian, he's losing his employees, he's sailing a sinking ship... so what does he focus his attention on?

An internet blogger.

Way to go, Johnny O.

That's pretty freaking hilarious. I left the PlaneBusiness forums when Holly started charging for access but now I'm temped to rejoin so she can use the money to kick J.O.'s a$$.

Man, this J.O. really is a jack*ss. I hope that Mesa goes under. It would be a huge victory for the industry. In addition, all the Mesa pilots could fill the much needed open positions at the other regionals. It would be a twofold benefit.

Mesa just cancelled their ERJ pilot vacations for the rest of the year too. Now, all CRJ and ERJ pilot vacations are cancelled. Unreal.

If that doesn't drive you out of there to SkyWest, Republic or ExpressJet I don't know what would. Everyone else is interviewing!

The judge in HNL said that the "chances for Mesa Air Group's request for a new trial aren't very high". The number is now at $98 million with interest and lawyer's fees.

I don't want any MAG pilots to lose their jobs; I wouldn't wish that on anybody...even GoJet pilots.

That said, I can easily see them losing some of their current flying...

I don't want to see them lose their jobs either. But it would be nice to see them quit their jobs and get better jobs elsewhere. And not have people come in to replace them.

We have been hearing for months about the imminent collapse of Mesa due to lack of staff, but so far nothing has happened. Somehow they keep on truckin'....

Why wouldn't you want GoJet pilots to loose their jobs?

Because as much as I detest that company, the circumstances surrounding its birth, and the selfish reasoning of those that work there...I don't ever want to see anybody lose their job without cause.

True those folks caused TSA pilots (MY FRIENDS) to lose their jobs via furlough, and they could easily find alternate employment within weeks...but unemployment sucks and wishing it on others is bad karma.
