The rates are actual rates and I'm sure they've been posted somewhere in this forum. What happens at a certain amount of aircraft flying is the monthly guarantee goes up. But it is mesa pilots, anyone on the Mesa seniority list can bid to it (although it obviously went pretty senior), and they can bid back but I'm pretty sure there's a seat lock once you switch over like when switching seats or to any other airframe.
Ok, so firstly thank you. It already makes a lot more sense, the Mesa (ex mesa) guy clearly was talking too fast or i couldn't retain what he said.
So same Ops Specs, same contract, same company (no alter ego), and maybe someday 100 737s shucking cargo all over for DHL?
