Not at all. That is purely a bait tactic for the SJS pilot. So now to be hired, not only does MAG make it easy for the wannabe airlinepilot but they dangle the emb175 slot in your face to keep you on the line. Oh boy, here come the masses!!!!

The union nor management have stated/slated any training slots beyond the initial cadre of pilots. The Initial Cadre (Check Airman etc.) kicked off this month. MAG does not even have a UAX embraer on property yet.

But sure guys keep holding on ... While your chances for seniority plummet and you get "bait and switched" to the CRJ.

Someone correct me if I am wrong?

Predictions:
EMB175s + CRJ900s + Easy to be hired at = plenty of pilots
(MAG doubles RAH in attracting new hires due to no Q400 nor ERJs)
Masses of new hire pilots provide zero leverage for Labor to negotiate any contractual gains. MAG stays as crap as ever, same said pilots b*tch and jump at first JetBlue, Allegiant or Spirit Offer. MAG again tanks in performance and loses UAX flying ...and the cycle of 2006-08 continues. JO buys latest Maserati.
