Mesa is going through major base changes right now on the CRJ. ORD just closed, CLT is closing starting in November and DFW is opening. There hasn't been an FO bid run for over a month but apparently there are vacancies right now in IAD and PHX. IAD has always tended to run junior at Mesa, so it'll probably stay that way. EJET hires are all going to IAH since it is currently the only base for that aircraft.

Curious if ejet lineholders are breaking guarantee. Also how long is a new hire typically on reserve for the ejet?

So we got an email stating there are 25 "Anticipated Permanent Vacancies" in Phoenix and 26 in Dulles for CRJ FO that "will accommodate 3 NH CRJ classes."
Is that to say, of the last three new-hire classes, half will be assigned PHX and half IAD? Or will people who've been waiting for PHX a few months fill those spots?

This often creates secondary vacancies which the company might or might not decide to fill--i.e. if the top 5 IAD FOs decided to switch to PHX FOs last-minute, they'd all get PHX, and it would likely create 5 additional secondary vacancies in IAD.

Roger, thanks. That's what I thought, but the wording gave me pause.

Also, just because they're not tdy vacancies doesn't mean they're what I would call "permanent". West doesn't flying is increasing, however those spots could always disappear in the next bid, and turn into a tdy somewhere else.

No. If you're looking to go on the cheap, look for a 16gb refurb ipad 2 wifi.. They're like $175 if I remember correctly
