at a loss of words. Years of dedication 🥲

I mean honestly if Cooder IS JO that isn’t a bad thing, can we just communicate directly our concerns here and him be maybe JO and us be maybe employees? It would be like a comment box 😂
Yeah I don’t think I’d put the 737 flying out as any kind of draw, that’s a special project that hopefully grows over time but shouldn’t even be a consideration for coming to the MESA. Plenty other good valid reasons to choose the MESA and also not but the 737 is not one of them IMO.

Thats quite a way to say the 737 only goes to super senior people, making it silly to use as a recruiting tool. Also, I think AA got tired of mesas poor performance, what are the actual block hours for April right now?

In true form this turned into a dumpster fire real quick. Appreciate all the people who contributed to my questions.

A true professional troll changes his tactics, very subtly, over time. Time for you to freshen up . Boring .

I applied to Envoy and Skywest, but haven’t heard anything back yet.

What made you pick Mesa?

How are the trips on the CRJ?

Can you block a good amount of flight time on the CRJ vs ERJ?

How has your training experience been at Mesa? CRJ or ERJ.

Pay aside what do you not like about Mesa?

Thanks and advance to those who took the time to answer.
CRJ is waning at Mesa. trips to the same 12 airports. Low credit inefficient schedules. Lots of work for few days off. New FOs spend time in SDF. Upgrades just now starting again. Attrition is high but at the bottom of the list. Why go here? Sun country will take you as an fo with under 1000 121 time.

737 takes 20+ years on property. However that may change soon.

The contract with AA went from 60 planes to 40. The fleet shrunk by 1/3. Further the mesa flying is slowly shifting to PHX. We remain over staffed on captains.

Mesa isn’t vetting 737 pilots or “allowing” or “disallowing” anything. They are not “reserving” them in any way. This is purely a seniority game.

Thank you! This is what I wanted to hear. Due to family stuff I want the flexibility to just drive to work. I love it here at republic, but with commuting and family obligations it’s making it extra hard.

I was leaning on the CRJ due to the quick training vs the ERJ and being dfw base.
