"Any one that work for MESA is supporting the demise our brothers and sisters in this industry."
I don't think so. I've helped a Mesa guy get a job at UPS and have seen two other Mesa buddies go to Delta and America West. I don't believe the average line guy deserves to be scorned. They are just working stiffs like the rest of us and chose Mesa for their own personal reasons. Blast JO to your hearts content but I think blasting the Mesa pilot group is highly misplaced.

Parked them there about a month ago. Delta reduced, then cancelled most of our flying. The other 22 are "in service." By that I mean sitting at outstations and at JFK/ATL/MCO, waiting to fly uncovered flights by other DCI carriers.
Delta is still paying us enough for the leases and crews of the airplanes. Once the appeal goes through, we will likely lose that income.

No, I'm in one of the few Comair classes that got started and whipsawed to pending furlough due to Mesa keeping their 900 flying contract.

When Delta lost the injunction, they had to resume paying us.
At first, the ERJ guys were sitting around, not flying and getting paid. Now the flying is slowly coming back up, as Delta didn't see it fit to pay us for doing nothing.
So, yes, if Delta wins the appeal (which they likely will) we will lose that money, since we will lose the contract entirely.

The only ASA flying that Freedom got was a temporary fill in for the flights we need to CX due to that fantastic night we had in BTR last week. When we are recovered from that incident freedom wont fly those routes for us anymore.
I think AIRSUPPORT might have a thing against ASA??
