I bet a large percentage of senior FOs at Endeavor/Republic/XJet will submit apps to be street CAs at Mesa the second it's announced. ESPECIALLY Endeavor--I mean, they're downgrading Captains and their FO payscale is capped at 4 years--why would anyone sit around in the right seat on 4th year FO pay indefinitely, when they could move left seat at Mesa and start making more money and accruing turbine PIC immediately?
I mean--4th year FO pay in JFK/DTW indefinitely, versus CA pay at Mesa in places that are not JFK/DTW. Is there even a question for any of those guys (except for the ones who live in base?)
