Nobody can really spin this into a positive other than the Denver base.

EWR and ORD are rumored to close as well. That’ll come in a later e-mail.

so you’re saying XJT is gonna be IAH, TYS and DEN

That’s what it’s looking like...perhaps minus TYS, in my opinion.

Rumor is DEN and IAH. No TYS either.

I know lateral moves to other regionals look bad but in cases like this?.....

LoL, yep add about 200 new hires to the “disgruntled” list. Many came here to fly at a growing airline with things happening.



Our hiring came to a trickle after we lost the last batch of 175’s. With all the training of pilots from the 175 back to the 145 I’m sure we’ll be able to staff those here on out...



This isn’t a “airlines change fleets all the time” kinda thing. The planes aren’t even all on line yet. It hasn’t even been a year since starting service (June 15th).



This is terrible news for our pilots flying that plane and our airline going forward;(



Agreed. Relatively new and typed on the 175 and considering jumping ship. Unless a new contract comes out I don’t see why anyone would want to fly the 145 when we can get better pay and a bonus at other company’s for the type rating.

Why would you go to Mesa [emoji1785]



I wouldn’t but there is always a 1500 CFI or two who likes their Ponzi scheme sales pitch

And their pilots if I read between the lines?

I sincerely hope the powers that be have an outstanding plan or this is about to get interesting, IMO.

Maybe by way of preferential hiring, but that's probably about it. Anything that impacts the seniority of an existing new hire would likely bring the XJT hiring pipeline to a trickle.
