Pretty rare to get the Ejet on Envoy unless you are in your 50's. Republic doesn't just give you the Ejet either.
While I agree there is nothing magical about the Ejet getting you hired on with a major, there are pilots that want to fly it. Most majors simply want the 121 time and a decent internal reference.

ALPA letter
Did anyone else get a letter in the mail addressed 'To the Family of ' then the employee name? The letter my family received contained a TA fact sheet, which sounds like the tri-fold the union was handing out at the road shows.

You must have 1000 hours PIC by now. Send your app in.
No offense to any regional pilot, but you guys act like you have blinders on sometimes. Do not get wrapped up in the politics of a new TA. Either they compensate, and give you the QOL you desire, or you go to someone who will. Do not worry about walking away being senior at Mesa.
