PHOENIX, Nov. 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- MESA AIR GROUP, INC.

That ship is sinking faster than the Titanic right now. Sorry for all the pilots who are soon to be on the street or downgraded.
 
And at the same time, TSA recalls 130+ furloughs.....things that make you say hmmmmm......

The TSA recalls begin coming back in December and the Mesa flying isn't gone until the end of April, right? I'm not so sure this is to replace the Mesa guys but who knows.

Nothing is certain yet. There's nothing out there that makes this an official deal as far as our recalls. Some are saying we should be hearing word from the company next week. And plus if they're recalling all of us it would mean 10 to 15 extra ERJs which TSA doesn't have. Where will they be getting these ERJs.. We'll see what happens.
 
Was Mesa flying 13 planes for United, CRJ-200's out of IAD and ORD though?

All of us here at ASA have been told that this is seperate flying from the RFP that United has out - for the 26 CRJ-200's Mesa will no longer operate. And that is coming from the likes of our President, and Director of Operations. The flying starts in February, prior to Mesa's expiration. . .so. . .

Plus, isn't GoJet's the United regional lift under the Holding company?
 
Yeah, which is why the MRJ announcement is interesting. TSA or GJ could get them...or nobody.

Do you believe that they would actually have Gojet fly CRJ7s AND MRJs? Why not just more 700s? I strongly believe that by 2014 when the MRjs arrive we'll be under one company, otherwise Hulas would own two competing 70+ seat certificates. They could have just said all MRJs would go to Gojet.
