Unless their CCF is at least 95%, I doubt anything will change.

Unless you have the "special" qualifications...

How long is the training in Houston?

That's cute. At the end, you get FA wings.

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"

This is 2017. If you don't get what you want, you quit. Not totally uncommon lately.

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.

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.
