Any hope here for a new hire? I need iah and I don't want to go to messa. Refuse to commute. How long to hold a line in iah? My thought is come here hope something good happens in the final hours, if not then maybe messa has a better contract by then.

I don't know if you're new around here or if you haven't read anything about ASA/XJT but it would be very dumb to go there and Mesa will not have a better contract by then. This is a weird industry. You will have to commute initially and the sooner you can accept that, the better. A new hire first officer at a regional airline unfortunately doesn't have the liberty to use words like "need" and "refuse"

A line??? In IAH??? You are funny!
On a serious note except about a year to get to IAH and be on reserve for While. Or you can be a bottom feeder and go to mesa and be part of the problem. Rumors of Republic opening IAH but you know rumors in this industry.

Every regional has their problems and it's very easy to be all "doom and gloom" and the "grass is greener at XYZ regional" personally I don't think the ERJ side is going anywhere for the next couple of years as of right now we are still one of the larger pilot groups and I don't think the majors can afford another regional shutting down. IMO United seems to be preparing for the regional pilot apocalypse by distributing their flying relatively evenly across their carriers so we can possibly pick up the slack off one another when we have to. Good group of pilots here and alot of nice work rules that won't have you hate your life too too much. It's your choice my man!
I am aware of mesa and the problems there. I have no problem sitting reserve in iah. But I read about your problems as well. What's going to happen after 2018. That's what I'm fighting here. To think that the 4th largest city has no regional options is a tough pill to swallow.
