If ALPA, or any other union, pushes the average on wages, conditions, or benefits upward, it does benefit the industry. All the other companies will feel the effects in hiring and turnover eventually, and have to move in the same direction to remain competitive.

What amazes me is the number of folks who not not recognize the built-in conflicts of interest for ALPA in representing both Regional and Legacy pilots. True, some of their needs are the same, but some are clearly not and never will be.

Scope isn't just a mouthwash.

We do not own a CRJ sim and we have over 80 CRJs.

Take that for what it's worth.....
Wait, so an airline that doesn't have the credit rating to purchase their own 175's is going ahead and buying a Sim??? What IF United decides to take their 175's away?

Except all regional airline unions have lowered the bar over the last 5 years, whereas, the non-unionized groups (JetBlue formerly and Skywest) have not taken concessions. Now before people read 3 words of this, misread it, and like Neanderthals get angry, I'm not saying get rid of unions. I'm saying that the unions aren't raising the bar right now and therefore you can't say that "everyone else's contracts" benefits from them.

Um, is this a serious question?

1) Sell it. 175s aren't going to disappear.
2) Keep it and use the cost savings to underbid on another 175 RFP.
3) Lease it to another carrier at a better rate than FSI and let them use their own instructors

Hoookay, gotta at least try.....
Mesa peeps- you are doing it wrong.
If FaceBiter and CBreezy post something and nobody "feeds the beasts", did they actually post anything ?

Don't feed the animals if you don't want them to come back for more.
.....or continue to deal with whatever issues they have this week. Either way, the decision is yours.
Govern yourselves accordingly.

Plugging your ears and singing "la la la" is ignorant. I'm not trolling. I'm countering your arguments with real facts and points. If that's trolling then someone please call the NY Times editorials and ask them to stop trolling.

Very relevant. As it happens, all the modern browsers stopped supporting SSLv3 this month due to it having flaws. Safari and Internet Explorer still allow it, Chrome and Firefox do not. Mesa needs to fix this pronto.

Default Out of these 4 who would you pick

24 yo m with 2200 total time. ATP 700 multi, 1000 ish PIC. 135 experience and 121 experience in E 175 Left flying to work in the Texas oil fields that are now laying off so going back to flying and insist on sticking with it. Grass is not greener always outside the cockpit ( Job security with oil prices) Looking at PSA MESA Republic or Ameriflight. Only advantage with Ameriflight is I qualify for Left seat positions and can earn pic turbine experience quicker than 121. Out of those 4 who would you pick? Thanks
