They want to offer this to the UAX side but the Eagle side can’t particpate? Fine, let’s negotiate a retention bonus for the Eagle side for example. For God’s try to negotiate something!
This is carrot to bring in new hires, it has little to do with pilots on the property.

This is exactly right. If this is something the company wants, it should be negotiated.

Look, we have our eyes wide open. Great Lakes has shut down due to lack of pilots. Other regionals will follow suit as the shortage worsens. And, when Great Lakes bit the dust, the regionals circled like vultures offering class dates without interviews.
Many of us are simply watching what happens next. Opportunities are out there.

If that happens, sure. Right now, ATL appears it will go senior based on the number of pilots that already two leg commute where ATL will reduce commuting.

You aren’t sitting in IAH where pilots are looking at the requirements and whether they already meet them. I think it will help at least with retention on the Ejet.

Don’t you think American would have be the major to offer any retention benefits, or a similar program to CPP, since United is offering this at no financial cost to Mesa?

What happens to pilots if Mesa loses the United Ejet contract? Do all these pilots just get furloughed since there is no Ejets for them to fly?

I am not going to pounce on any opportunity. I looked briefly at Republic. Then, it became clear that IAH was going to be a senior base and upgrading there would set me back. They became a non-starter.

Collective bargaining is for contractual issues. There is NOTHING contractual about the CPP. The mainline partner is in FULL control of how things go down, and it can vanish in a second. Personally, I agree with keeping it exclusive to UAX pilots, but my opinion isn’t really relevant to your carrier’s operation. I think it’s bizarre that United included a company who serves its competition for this program, but that’s also irrelevant.

United CPP comes to Mesa
Who will Republic fly for in the new IAH base?
FWIW I’m sure it will not remain a small base for very long after opening.
Some explain how could upgrading or sitting CA Rsv being home-based set someone back?
