You are either taking my words out of context, or you're completely missing my point.
What do you suggest that I do (besides the Spirit instructor deal)? What regional would you suggest? And BTW, I'm mostly choosing Mesa because of the IAH base which is an easy commute for me.

And not 3 years to upgrade.
Have you had a drink to calm down yet? You are really high strung man.

The biggest question is what happens to the 700’s. Are they converted into 550’s like GoJet, basically freeing up 20 slots for E175SC’s?
As far as renewals being public information, it really isn’t public information. Where people here have gathered the information is from our quarterly reports... if the Mesa’s CFO was as smart as the SkyWest’s CFO, then our quarterly filings would not contain such detailed information.

You keep saying how I need 3 years of flying as an FO until I will be ready to upgrade, and I disagree. I was recommended for CA upgrade on the B727 in less than 2 years as an FO on it. Is the E175 much more difficult to fly than a B727?

It didn’t sound stupid to me as a twice-typed steam gauge PIC, and it DID kick my butt.
Humility, work, patient and excellent instruction enabled success. But I underestimated it.
