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.

FAR 117 actually prevents them from putting you on airport reserve after a flying segment. However they can (legally per 117) keep you on duty if there is a possibility of more flying within your remaining FDP availability.
It would however be a big concession to allow them to immortalize the "FDP" placeholder without getting something for it.
The Houston people might love saying "EJET" for some reason, but an rj is an rj. Don't delude yourself into thinking that any legit carrier you dream of flying for cares if the engines are under the wing or whether or not it has auto brakes.

Either of these are valid reasons to sign with Mesa on the Ejet. With either of these reasons, you may not care about the pay as much - except $36 is better than $22.

Most IAH Mesa pilots don't care about the EJet either, but it is UAL that cares about the EJet. If you live in a UAL base, you better want to fly the EJet. It doesn't matter if it is ORD, IAH, or SFO.
My bet is the EJet comes to IAD for Mesa. You want to live In a UAL base, you better fly the EJet.
