Nah. The legacies are looking to cut RJ capacity (especially 50 seat capacity), not maintain or increase it. Getting rid of Mesa's current flying would be a perfect way to do that without having to pay any penalties for cancelling other existing RJ lift contracts. No one is likely to gain from Mesa's flying. Some other regional might get the opportunity to bid on Mesa's 700/900 flying but I'm sure the catch would be that they would have to replace existing 50 seat jets on a one for one basis. Thus, no actual gain in airframes for whichever regional gets the contract.

Getting rid of the bottom feeder that drags down our careers wouldn't be a bad thing. Lowered standards at 8 days off a month, no block or better, terrible mx, junior manning, etc. Getting rid of all that can only do good things for the piloting profession. The Mesa management team has profitted off the backs of Mesa employees for too long.

Hopefully the next bottom-feeder will take note of that fact that MAG's abuse of employees led directly to a mass exodus, an inability to sustain required performance numbers, and contract termination. This might raise the bar as to what bottom-feeders think they can get away with in the future.

Y'all at Trans States...I knew as well as you did when we all got hired on board there that we weren't working for a top-notch operation. Don't take anything I say personally! In fact, it's the ones that went in without that understanding that were the miserable ones.
Trans States is no Mesa, but neither are they an XJet, SkW, or RAH...again, it's just fact.
