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.
Exactly. They won't issue the displacement award until the last minute so they can save every penny. They don't care if pilots don't know until 2 weeks prior to a move. I think in our next contract we need to have a mandatory one month notice for a displacement. If they don't like it, TDY us for a month as they figure it out. With the amount of times you will be displaced at a regional, it would be a good thing to have.
