Is it that long? I heard that the Mesa Airways contract will expire the end of this year.

I sure hope that it is the latter. The sooner we can take over the 900 flying at PSA, the better. Expansion is what we need to get our furloughs back and resume upgrades.

Check your email tomorrow. I got my Dear John letter today. On the plus side it was way more personable than the one Eagle sent me a couple months ago! Both are hanging up on my office wall.

Wow, really classy. I'm facing a furlough, and I wouldn't think of saying something like that.

Joe, see you in a few weeks. Maybe we can do some formation flying over the chain!

2009 is the date for the Mesa PHX no compete clause for Airways. Until then, all Airways contract flying out of PHX must be performed by Mesa. They can bring in a competing contractor after 2009 like they have done in CLT.

Not only is this insensitive, it is pretty bold to assume that PSA will get the flying. Keep in mind, Piedmont is owned by US Airways. SkyWest already has a base in Tucson, AZ and could also serve PHX very easy. I am sure Republic would also love to get that flying since their DEN base has shut down and forced all their pilots to a long commute that were once based there.

We all want our companies to do well, including Mesa pilots that are now fearing a furlough. Everyone assumes that Mesa pilots are low time pilots but I know a lot that got hired with high TT but wanted the base that Mesa had. I personally never wanted to work for Mesa because of their bad work rules but I don't want any pilot out on the street. It is bad for all of us.
