Anyone know how Mesa is doing with the 175s so far? Haven't heard any news lately in regards to staffing or performance.
Ten more upgrades for the 175 coming soon. 22 total. I imagine those awarded the 175 will be more senior, as a quite a few seem to be holding out. Personally, I'd rather just take whatever comes first. It'd be fun to fly 175, but 121 PIC time is more important, and with the pay difference over the extra year one might wait for the E-Jet, you could buy your own 175 type if you want it that bad.
I've heard that Airways is snapping up those who already have 175 time and sending them to the 190 in Philly, but plenty of us lowly CRJ pilots have gone on to greener pastures.
