The only possible way is if pilots leave other regionals and come to Mesa.
They're just trolling... Mesa is not in the financial position to purchase any frames of their own, and I doubt United is dumb enough (although that is debatable some days) to put their eggs into one basket and purchase 30 more to hand over. They will be better off spreading the frames around.
I'm trolling?
Our classes are 100% show as of currently. I'm getting dm's from current XJT, RAH and Eagle guys saying they can't get call backs from Recruiters. People are getting class dates for late summer and fall.
I don't doubt we will get to a point when they start struggling to fill classes. It just has not yet shown it's head yet. We have a great training department, good Chiefs and a ton of movement on the horizon. The word is getting out.
We have a better contract than RAH and now also have EJETS. What is that place going to use to lure new hires? They were the only EJET operator for years and used that EJET SJS to get people. (I was there if you haven't read any of my 1000 other posts comparing the two)
I'm a 2013 hire and only about 130 numbers from most junior captain.
