Mesa news?
 

My brother works on Wall Street, and he's been telling me all week that something is up with Mesa. He's hearing some grumblings about a bankruptcy filing for the last week or so, (before the latest Delta cancellation).

He'll be the first to tell you that just because he hears some grumblings that it doesn't mean they are filing, but on the flip side of that, most times a company does file, they sense it up there before it happens.

I made a small amount selling some Mesa stock two weeks ago when it shot up (due to some investment group buying a sizable chunk of stock), but now I've went ahead and sold off what I have left.

Good luck to all the Mesa peeps, hope nothing comes of it!

Well, I HAD an interview set up for next week...but then I got this little email saying.....


Dear Pilot Applicant,

Due to our current circumstances we have to postpone your scheduled interview. You will not lose interview priority and will be rescheduled at a later date. At this time we are not sure when interviews will resume, but will be in contact via email. We appreciate your patience and understanding.

--guess its for the best....

Wow....

I got nothin.....

I had a feeling that they were going to stop their hiring as a result of this recent Delta contract cancelled. They would be dumb not to. On another thread someone said they didn't do the full interview at the group interview in Chicago but will fly everyone to PHX instead. I think they are just stringing along those applicants until they find out what is going to happen with this lawsuit or potential bankruptcy. I would assume they still have a pool and classes scheduled for the next few months and that should give them enough to fill any current vacancies.

Honestly, I don't want any Mesa pilots furloughed. I would prefer to never work at Mesa or a company with bad work rules but I don't wish bad on anyone that does. The current economy has humbled a lot of pilots. Watching Express Jet downsize is a prime example.

I have (had) an interview sept 10th. I just heard from some friends that theirs were cancelled as well. they had the aug 13th and 27th interviews. Kind of a bummer but anticipated.

Trust me, they did you a favor.

Thank yourselves for being rescued from this company! DO NOT APPLY TO OR FLY FOR MESA OR IT'S SUBSIDIARIES!

You just don't understand how bad it hurts the entire industry. The practice of undercutting EVERY other airline in the industry is the reason so many can not get ahead and hire you in the first place. Pay rates are crippled, contracts are held back, and morale is low chiefly because of Mesa's predatory business practices that put many of my friends in the streets in Hawaii.. and several more soon to be on the streets in the Mainland.

Why do you apply to a company when you know it is the WORST one in the business? Why don't you take experienced pilots advice?

There is no fixing Mesa.... but if you go there, don't expect a warm reception at your next airline interview. Any pilot who went there in the last 5 years knows exactly what they are responsible for in the industry.

It is just a bit odd that MESA was one of the highest gainers (of the airline stocks) on wall st today...up almost 15.0%....hmmm

Very well said..
