Chief Pilot and Program Manager (i.e. two management pilots) did it.

It was outsourced. They hired a few pilots that had a background in ferry flights. Few ppl from RP went along also. Friend there told me about it a few weeks ago, I guess they told them in recurrent.

Yeah... Because Republic is so much better for the industry than MESA. Who cares that they will fly for 1/3 rd the pay...(Hint: Midwest)

I agree. The polish is wearing off fast at mesa "cough" excuse me Republic.

Come on now, there is no way you can put RAH in the same class as Mesa. You obviously have no clue on the industry and how it works.

RAH doesnt house an Alter Ego Carrier......Granted I dont agree with RAH's payscale or work rules...but they had no say in this whole midwest deal....its not like they were given a vote.....Every RAH guy I have talked to about that whole deal was upset with it...I can promise you that if the Midwest flying was voted on?? It wouldnt have passed.

MESA however is a cancer to the Industry. Its Airlines like that who dont give Airlines like mine a leg to stand on when it comes time for contract negotiations

But there has always been a Mesa and there will always be some sort of Mesa, that's just the way it is. Ever heard of Century Airlines?
