That would be great but I HIGHLY DOUBT that will happen any time soon. PSA will not spend any money. An all 700 fleet means raises for the pilot group. I say no way, at least for the forseeable future.

Not only that but someone, PSA or Airways, would need to spend the money for the -700's. The -900's are already Airways aircraft. Besides, a lot of the routes the -700's do can easily be done by a -200 or a Piedmont TP.

Any idea when there going to recall the furloughs?

Yep, as soon as management says, lets call em back.....

Couldn't have said it better.

I hope soon for the sake of those on furlough. But, probably not gonna happen until the industry/economy turn around. I have a feeling we are going to see a serious drop in pax traffic over the next year or two which will offset lower fuel prices. All signs point to this being a long furlough. Of course, they could start recalling tomorrow and it wouldn't come as much of a surprise either.

I see the sarcasm here... but I just went 16 days with NO calls... that's through the 'busy' Thanksgiving travel season.

Worse yet... just a rumor, but I heard MORE furloughs could be possible. I think that was based on something TK said in recurrent... that they easily could but won't. Who knows.:confused:

Things go from bad to worse at this place don't they. And with more cuts to Airways flying coming, I don't see a silver lining.

Well, today we just got emails offering more LOA's for jan 5-30, keeping seniority, longevity benefits and all that... here we go again :mad:

Changed ..........

Guys, calm down with the doom and gloom. It does NOT make financial sense to offer enhanced LOA's and then furlough anyway. We really are not that fat on pilots. When spring comes even if a little more flying is given to us, we would still need the current number to staff them. I HIGHLY doubt there will be planes parked. These LOA's are geared towards everyone, not just pilots. From what I understand, FA's are pretty heavy and they want them to take the LOA's more than anyone else. Its not the end of the world, be glad it was LOA's and not furloughs as originally was the thought in January.

sorry that last post was alot more sarcastic when it was in my head.

Ha Ha Ha....
Yes some are very very heavy. Not Pretty though!

Nice twist :D

I like how it says they are "pleased to offer" and and our work history must be in good standing. Like it's some sort of priveledge to be "awarded" one of these LOA's.

lol i was thinking the same thing...:rolleyes:

BRIEF-Mesa Air auditor concerned about material weakness - News - CNBC.com

Do you guys know if PSA is going to recieve the CRJ's or does Airways have another wonderful idea to give them to someone other than their wholy owned.

I don't think those 200's are going to anyone. They are 200's that fly on the airways system out of PHX. I believe this is airways way of cutting flights.

I can hear JO on the phone with his lawyers already:rolleyes:

Did you listen to the Q4 2008 Mesa Air Group Earnings Conference Call that is on another thread? I did for about 5 min and almost threw up.

There has been a plan to park 2 Mesa 200's in 09.
