It really makes me sick to see Mesa force Aloha to file for BK and shut down and then use the Aloha name to promote a subpar bottom feeder airline. And they want to offer 6 nonrev passes to the employees of Aloha in return. What a jock. I hope JO will join the unemployment line with the rest of us.

Maturity - in inability to let anyone get the last word. Did you get furloughed? Hope so

The above postod by a Mesa captain.

This is the type of people Mesa and JO employ....What a class act.

Can't let it go? I simply responded in kind. I apologize for lowering myself to your level.

We can compile a list

approximately 500 unemployed at Comair....which can be directly attributed to the existence of Freedom Airlines

1900 at Aloha are out of work

what else?

How many are out of work because of Southwest, AirTrans (Valujet), Jetblue, USAirways (yes, USAirways since it came into being after deregulation) and all the other low cost carriers?

We shouldn't be pointing fingers at pilots or airlines. If we want someone to blame, blame managers and deregulation.

Please explain to me what Freedom had to do with the 500 unemployed at Comair? If anyone should be to blame it is Big Daddy D. They (illegally or maybe not, thats why the case is in court) took away flying for 36 145's from Freedom, thought that it would be the end of that, told Comair to hire up for the flying that they would be doing instead of Freedom and then gave it back when Mesa filed suit (rightfully so, if taking away the flying was a breach of contract, which like I just said will be decided by a court) and then subsequently won an injunction, which is NOT the easiest thing to do.

Pointing the finger at an airline is much easier than blaming an occurrence, such as deregulation.

USAirways (East) used to be Allegheny Airlines which was around in the 1950's.

It seems you are being inconsistent or hypocritical. If someone is a "class act" for wishing that someone be furloughed, what are you for wishing a business to fail and hundreds to be out of work?
