30 ejets as announced with an option for another 20 more. 50 total.
Was in PHX last week and this is what they're saying in the training dept and a senior (prior CP) PHX CA also confirmed separately.
Also they stated they plan on hiring 600 next year.
Now more importantly.... has anyone seen an extra IPAD mount? I left it in a 900 Sunday. Errrrrrr lol
600 new hires? Can this be right? Is the APC pilot count of 855 pilots accurate? With a lot of the new people being former cfi's with no 121 time is it practical that Mesa may have trouble finding people eligible for upgrade like TSA did and end up with 2013/2014 hires as captains? Is it realistic that Mesa can and will expand this fast?
