So let me get this straight... Mesa is running classes every month with 100% attendance. No 175s are on property yet; but when they start showing it'll be 2/ month was it?

Explain to me again how we can't staff airplanes. This isn't silver or xjt.

It's most likely going to an established E175 carrier...Compass or Shuttle.
Hey, you were right on the money here!!!!

See your above post.

You're always right dude! (insert most obvious eye roll ever)

Anyways, you have no idea what your talking about. Take your uneducated opinions elsewhere.

P.S. yes, there is an option for 30 more EJETS. Also our classes are an 100% show.

Yeah it's a much better career move to go to the bottom of a 3000 pilot list at one of the "super" regionals.

The only people who think that's a smart move are spuzz and the 50% cash back girl.

Yeah 6 new planes in a 30-60 day time frame is a lot for an airline with only 700 pilots/70 planes.

I sure don't pity those in the training department. Those guys and gals are going to be working a lot of 7 day work weeks I'm betting.

Have they officially announced when they are coming online or what base they are headed to? Anything more about a PHL base?

Hopefully going to PHX where they belong! That poor base has been beat up the last few years. It would be super to get the displaced captains back home.

Question for you Mesa guys:

Any word on how many people you guys are getting to show up for new hire class? How many classes per month?

Thanks

2 of the last 6 posts state our classes are 100% show.

Like I don't want to be a dick, but how hard is reading?

Dang prior! Maybe the guy is just asking what the class sizes are, not necessarily the percentage that actually show. He also asked how many a month they are running. Sorry embraer, I don't know the answers to these questions. I'm sure someone will answer for you though.
