With United needing more and more lift when do they pull the plug on Mesa's Ejets?
Our former student also reported yesterday a Mesa corporate email announcing the retirement of the Exec VP of Recruiting and Training and the employment of a consultant and adviser for the training department. And the rumor mill indicates the Director of Training also "retired". Related to the backlog?
Or are the rats jumping off the Titanic?

Well, Mesa is flying the Ejets within the margins of the contract. I would guess United won’t do that until we are not flying the 59 Ejets we have within the margins of the contract. Plus, Mesa owns 18 of the Ejets.
The problem is there is not enough SIM time available at Flight Safety. We had to start using a second SIM in Dallas (not at Flight Safety) for training.
What Flight Safety are you teaching at? Do you have extra time available that Mesa can send new hires there? How often does Flight Safety starts classes? If Flight Safety can customize its classes for Mesa 121 requirements, teach Systems, checkride prep SIMs, the checkride and LOFT in 24 days someplace, I am certain Mesa management wants to know.

I'm more of an instructor at heart, but line flying is what pays the bills. This opening pays "up to" (I always am suspicious of that term) a rate that I can live on, but Mesa has a reputation as we all know and I'm looking for current Mesa people to chime in. PM me if you want or put it out here.
Thanks

On the Ejet side, I have heard relief is coming. Flight Safety instructors are reportedly being used. Additional SIM time is being acquired. The most recent Ejet pilots are getting through to IOE in about 5 months from date of hire. Based on what I hear, I expect this to shorten by summer.
Mesa won’t implode. Someone will buy Mesa before it implodes. This is a prime market for a regional right now, majors are flush with cash.

United will just get their planes back on their next contract,
United mainline pilots will fly 175s and 190s 195s as a combined new fleet on their certificate
Watch it happening by 2019 when your 5 year wet lease is coming to the end on the first 175s United bought for you to fly
Be aware and try to move on to the next level by networking hard

This seems to have also huge repercussions for Republic and SkyWest as well. Did you post this on their threads?
United bought with their cash only the Mesa 175s ( other than the 18)
The other regionals bought their own
253 70/76 seaters is the max which is reached
No scope relief coming so it’s simple
Get all of YOUR aircraft in house and mix them with new 100 seaters they are about to order. ALPA UAL MEC goal for the next contract....
125 aircraft 88/100seat capacity flown by United seniority pilots FACT . Jet for Jobs TellAndy no dues H is dead
