Plus I guess foley let it slip to some people that Mesas upgrade time has risen and stands at at least 3 years right now for everyone hired after jan 2015 if they don't have previous 121 time. On top of this a friend in training currently said that their are strong rumors of 145 flying coming soon. PHL- LGA- Miami are bases rumored. Makes sense why the union let them put 145 pay rates in the TA.I think you're going to start seeing a mass exodus of guys.Esp if this ta is voted in. One day the truth will be known.
Wow. Suddenly milehigh has the exact details of more people than most of us even know personally at Mesa. Given the probability of actually encountering someone that's leaving, he either knows most of our pilots or is part of some secret sect, all planning to leaving at once.
If Foley's admission that we're getting 15 new planes along with the 145 rumor are both true (hmm...), then why would upgrade times increase to three years?
