I know Colgan was NOT hiring DEC's about 7 month's ago because I talked to Chuck personally about it and he refused. Also Mesa has all but stopped this as well. I know we are not taking any on the Beech anymore. We are very low on FO's in some positions, which is leading to ppl being hired under 1000/ 100. Remember that the only reason a union company like Mesa can and will hire DEC's is because they have no qualified FO's for the needed CA's. This just isn't the case anymore. That is all the light I can provide for now.
