Mesa in China update?
I'm just curious about what steps have been taken with Mesa in China. I haven't heard anything since the initial news and was wondering if things have stalled or if they are moving forward. I've seen A LOT of CFI request from china lately to teach their people at several places. They are paying pretty decent too. 2k a month to be a CFI with living paid for, uniforms covered, ect. Just wondering if this has something to do with Mesa kicking it that way or not. I can't imagine the country training them for anything bigger.

This is J.O.'s wet dream! Non-unionized cheap labor, in a place where it is an "honor to work 6 days a week"...that quote came from a good friend of mine former citizen of China. Basically no FAA rules and no union, he'll probably charge those poor guys to fly.

Well, I personally think this is his new freedom for contract negotiations this fall. He doesn't care that we aren't winning any new flying because he already has homes lined up for those aircraft. I have also heard (rumor) we are not sending any of our pilots over there. So really I don't know why MESA people would be happy about this. It only means more a/c we stand to lose. With upgrades breaking the 3 year mark on the jets here I can't understand Anyone wanting to put up with J.O.'s Bull!....
