I got a whopping $800 out of $7200 Sounds like Mesa is resorting back to their old money saving tricks.
If you are talking about EJET staffing, there are 100 active CA and 72 active FO per the 1505 roster. If they are being held back it is because we are short on EJET FOs. We still have Jan class EJET FOs in TRN status. Feb was a small class and are currently in sim. The March class is starting sim next week. March was a bigger than normal class, so when they're done with IOE things should ease up a bit. There was also a bit of a training bottleneck. It is likely a culmination of these things triggered holdbacks to the CRJ, if true.
