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. You must me young. If you weren't, you wouldn't hope for more pilots to lose their jobs. |

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. I hate to see a pilot lose a job, but Mesa going belly up would benefit the whole industry. |

Most Mesa pilots I hear on the radio are foreigners. They are filling jobs that should belong to Americans, but that is a seperate issue.

What an ingorant thing to say. Let see how many AMERICAN pilots fly for JAL, Cathay Pacific, China Airlines, Singaport Airlines, Emerates, ETC. ALL overseas airlines. You need to change your attitude, we are not in the early to mid 1900s anymore.

here is an idea....Mesa could outsource all of its pilots to india, just like Dishnetwork does on for their customer service. then they could pay them $5.00/hr....
i can just hear it now, (in thick Indian accent), "hello, welcome aboard Mesa flight 6969, my name is john"......... oh wait, i better not say that too loud, they might ACTUALLY do that.... Jeff p.s....that was an attempt at humor, so dont start flaming!! :) |
