That might have been the case in the old contract, no more like that. I think they release you 6 hours early on your last reserve day.

Don’t knock those NO FLY list captains. If it wasn’t for one of those pricks, I wouldn’t have gone to the hotel that night and filled out applications for another job. I have to thank one phenomenaly assholic PHX prick for getting me a substantial raise and protecting me from furlough. PHX No Fly list. The best recruiting tool other companies could ever have.

I never actually flew with him because I was warned to No Fly him before I have to endure a trip. There were five on my list but the one that pushed me over the edge claimed to have an Emirates to Skywest to Mesa Pedigree.

Come on guys. Gate air in DFW= broken, always has always will. Leave the damn APU’s on.

My experience at the regional level was no where close to this description

Mesa reserve offers things many others do not. Perdiem on ready. 50 percent credit hours on ready. (Airport standby). This thread is silly though. Mesa won’t hire for a very long time.

But seriously, everything you said is right and this thread is silly.
