Lucky lol. Sorry man, a pay cut, crappy contract and a serious liability of an aircraft don’t strike me as “lucking out”.
Nah, I'd say ALL of the ex-ASA pilots got lucky. If you disagree, you should have sought to be released from the group instead of getting a windfall on our seniority list. Unless you are retirement eligible, I'd say having a job is better than unemployment. Especially for the majority of the senior ASA pilots who are camped out on the 175. Next time you see a Mesa 175 you can thank the ASA MEC for that.
I wonder what the percentage of ex-ASA to XJT pilots is on the 175. The irony of that is not lost on me.
