Best of luck to the employees of Mesa I have a feeling this is going to get real ugly for you.
He says they'll continue to pay employees, but doesn't BK ultimately allow for petitions to alter labor agreements as part of any final restructuring ?
In other words, look for contract decimation to the bone, including pay.
Additionally, regardless whether they win or lose against Delta, Delta will be dump them at the first opportunity and this will only leave U as the major carrier partner, so look for a noticable reduction of the current fleet and that means more downgrades and furloughs for pilots. There will probably be noticable downsizing even before Delta kicks Mesa to the curb as noted in the statement.
Again, it would be wise for Mesa employees to see the clear writing on the wall (no one can deny this now). Mesa has little future and those that do remain for any extended period of time can expect a company that scrapes the bottom of the barrel even more then it does now.....a lot more.
Employees should consider Mesa a tempoary method of avoiding the hassles of unemployment and should agressively seek firmer ground for theirs and their families future.
But do remember.......your considerate friend Johnny wishes you a very merry christmas and happy new year !
