But in reality one rate across the board will not allow EMB captains to bid back to the CRJ. As of right now I could via the contract, bid the CRJ right after receiving the EMB type. Since Mesa has a higher pay scale for our 79 seat CRJ's in CLT. At anytime that your not seat locked you can bid into a higher paying aircraft. I think management is looking at this for future training cost's and want to shut that door. Slats your right though, as long as pilots are showing up to class they don't give a ****. And they're showing up, not just wet ATP's either, a lot of experienced 121 people as well.
