Latest "SkyWest Big Announcement™"
So the word at skywest right now is that VLAs will not longer be granted, indefinitely. Anyone have any more info? Rumor is that tons of new flying is on the way. But we've all heard this song and dance before.

Based on actual experience...
Most summer VLA's are now being denied, as well as longer-term leaves into 2010. Furlough is unlikely.
I don't think it's "Big News" additional flying, I think they had enough leave takers and higher-than-expected UAX/DCI flying for the rest of the year.
I think they are also maintaining an extra staff cushion this year in case mesa folds.

And there is probably the biggest answer, and why Mesaba also isn't furloughing or offering leaves longer than a month.

I think we've all been guilty at one point or another (over the course of the past year) of speculating when mesa would go under. I'm starting to believe that they won't!!!! They may not be the same as they are today, but I'm starting to think they'll be around in some shape or another.

They may last a few battles but I don't see staying power for the long term. They tried to grow to fast when all majors were giving away hours as a scare tactic and now they have no place to grow once the contracts are up, voided, etc...
Again, just mho. I don't like to see anyone jobless but there are a lot of jobs that never should have existed.

I don't think our position is any more precarious than it has been in the past year. We're staffed and working hard at keeping our performance #'s up.
Haven't heard anything bad about XJT.
If you do end up with a large amount of Mesa's current flying, I hope you'll hire a few of us.
