We started with 315 or 316, if they call back
the 100, that should be all that's out there.
Mesa should be interviewing and hiring shortly,
given with all the jets that are coming.
Keep your eyes on the Freedom Air.
There have been so many rumors that have come from "the man in charge", "the big cheese", "a well placed source", "the training department" and "the person who would know" regarding recalls and so far the only rumor that has come true are the ones saying there would be no recalls soon.
What is the supposed time frame of this recall?
Also Mesa furloughed in the vicinity of 320 pilots. So far they have recalled 115. Recalling another 100 still leaves another 105 pilots on furlough.
Knowing Mesa they will recall all of the guys into the Beech, thus seat locking them for a year (you can upgrade but you will be locked for a year after the upgrade) and then hire all the new guys into the jets. If Mesa had a decent contract where first year pay, regardless of equipment, was equal, it wouldn't be so bad. But when guys junior to you are making more money to fly a jet and you can't bid over, it sucks. And when they get commutable bases and you don't, it sucks even more.
NEDude, I hear ya. Let's hope for the sake of all regional pilots out there they don't do that(recall into the beech, that is). That's definitely wrong. Your also right about the the first year pay. Besides they should leave that fast upgrade in the 1900 to some outsider like me! Seriously, it's great to be complaing about what we're complaining about, that means someone's going back to work with the promise of more to follow. Hope more Mesa people provide info as they get it. Thanks!
NEDude, you better get your information from
somewhere else, you dont know what you're
talking about. You're calling the chief pilot,
d/o a liar. Talk to me you silly boy.
