That's what I thought, but every carrier is different.

I think some base upgrades strictly on seniority, regardless if you meet the FAA minimums to upgrade to CA. I'm avoiding those carriers, like ExpressJet.

Mesa 175's have all the bells and whistles? Or was Mesa cheap? Also, how many 175's does Mesa have?

We have auto brakes, but no D-ATIS, PDC, ACARS in range, or EFB power outlets. In a nutshell they are almost as cheap as can get. Mesa supposedly even asked EMB to leave 1 FMS out, but EMB basically laughed.

I've got >4700 TT, >1200 SIC jet Part 121.
I made a mistake..meant to say 1000 and since you have the time you’ll be eligible for upgrade as soon as you finish IOE. Now being eligible and ready for upgrade are two different things.

So they're basically an F-150 XLT and not a Lariat. lol

Yeah, I agree.

No, they’re more of an XL without power windows or air conditioning.

Not really. I was out for 16 years and did it in a sub standard program.
