Do you think United will award a new long term contract to a regional it thinks is unable to staff the flying? It's not complicated. Wait for some new great news for Mesa.
Please try to respond logically this time instead of emotionally. I understand it's not fun to hear you probably chose the wrong regional. I know this because I'm at the same one. Also, if he is truly your friend in HR, what are you still doing at Mesa?
Hahaha. He just upgraded. I'm pretty confident he'll end up at United eventually, along with quite a few other well-educated, well-spoken, intelligent Mesa Captains with the wherewithall to apply, attend career fairs, and present themselves properly.
Mesa is not only capable of staffing our current UAX operation, we are in fact covering the understaffed regionals' flying now. How do I know this? Because I've been called in to operate unscheduled Mesa 175 flights twice this week, that were originally on Shuttle 170s but "cancelled due to staffing."
Looking at our predicted lines, block hours, and training pipeline, and with the DFW & YYZ sims being utilized now, we're completely caught up on staffing and defnitely scaled up for more flying if United throws it our way.
Sorry to the haters, this place isn't going to implode anytime soon.
