Possibility of a CRJ class in December, or the first 175 class "around the new year" (date not set in stone). Base for the 175 looks like at first IAH.
Starting CRJ classes are being held a few weeks to allow for the sim backlog to work itself out. Recruiter said that the problem is 100% of those hired are showing up to class, which was not what they were expecting.
As a young CFI with diagnosed SJS, any reason why I shouldn't go with Mesa? Looks like it will be very little time on reserve, with 175 seats being filled with 100% of new hires. Not to mention the likelyhood of a quicker upgrade than almost any other regional out there
This is why the regionals will never get better.
I get to fly an airplane with engines on the wings! Upgrade time will be so short I'll only be a FO for a year! I'll just do my time and use this "stepping stone" I'll be at a legacy in 2 years!
Get real dude, a plane is a plane all that matters is pay and QOL. NOWHERE has a quick upgrade at the moment and everything could change tomorrow depending on which way the whipsaw is bending. If you're really serious about this regional game "which blows" find a regional with a contract and go there. Everyone is hiring and unless you have a ton of skeletons in your closet you can go to any regional.
