They're just trying to see how many CAs they can get out of CLT voluntarily before they displace them. They're looking for takers so they don't have to pay for moving expenses, etc..
We are not fat on Captains on the CRJ at all. I would bet money they simply looked at the CLT CAs current bids and someone said "oh wow those 7 guys will go to PHX and those guys will go to DFW!!! Let's see if they go voluntarily and push back this displacement another month!!!"
Same old Mesa tactics--and I don't blame them at all for it--they're just trying to save themselves as much money as possible.
