We should all have bought MESA stock with options betting its demise... We of all people saw this coming.

Potential Mesa strategy:
For any low-timers, would it make sense to apply to Mesa, take the training and get oriented to 121 flying? I say this because Mesa is either going out of business soon, or there will be big changes (as in JO is pushed out). In the meantime, an applicant gets 121 training, gets to experience life at a really crappy regional (which will make the next one seem like Shangra La), and will probably not have to face it for long - something is going to happen soon (BK, change of control, etc). Think of it as a free RJ familiarization course. |
Rumor has it J.O. is coming to NK.... can't wait

A Ch.11 filing would likely see the pilot contract tossed out, which would mean a downgrade from indentured servitude to outright slavery. |

Mesa and anyone who supports JO can eat my shorts!

Risky. The problem is that if they don't furlough you, then you are stuck with either riding it out or breaking the training contract. They have recently sued numerous ex-mesa pilots for that.

Does BK actually give an airline the right to throw out a CBA? Sounds a little far fetched.

You make an excellent case as to why this is risky. One question though...if Mesa can break the CBA, then why shouldn't the training contracts also be tossed? Obviously, if the CBA is tossed and QOL gets even worse for MAG pilots (not sure how, but lets say it can) then the terms of the original job offer that included the training contract have changed...shouldn't that void the training contract? |
