FO's probably 45 dfw / 45 iad, the key here is no 700/900 pay diff. There will be far fewer FO's to shuffle due to upgrades and people that already transferred to keep a line. Wouldn't be surprised if FO displacements are deferred for several months due to upgrades / quits / and the out of balance FO / CA #.
CA's probably 70 dfw / 45 iAd, 700/900 pay diff will force some to dfw to prevent pay cut.
Go to PSA if Mesa<1-2 years and want/ need east coast/clt operation. Cut losses, much better contract/ health insurance is no comparison. Mesa /JO always finds a way to screw opportunity up, it won't be long now.

1+ year Mesa FOs are very close to upgrade, while a December and beyond PSA class date puts you well behind the quick upgrade curve. Less than a year or still considering where to go? Then yes, PSA might be a good choice.

JO has to know eventually he will have to put a better contract on the table. The question is when will he actually do it. Hopefully before classes stop filling.

Thanks for the info flaps, it's helpful and informative and I do appreciate it. It might've been waiving that did this - my understanding initially was that everything is waived unless you say otherwise as that would be intuitive. That the only preferences or constraints are the ones you enter. So I didn't have anything waived. It was simply "Give me a line with 6 days off," and if you can't do that "Give me a line with 5 days off," then 4 days, then 3. Barring that, "Give me reserve with 6 days off," "give me reserve with 5 days off," etc. I thought that would work since it didn't have many parameters and allowed the next option down if not the first.

I hope guys are doing some research on IAD trips vs DFW. Granted we won't know all DFW destinations for a while. Trips are quite a bit more efficient in IAD. UAL flying has always been better in comparison. Better efficiency = more days off. Also as of now, there are quite a few trips on the 76 seat 900's out of DFW so there is no pay benefit there (flying thru PHX or LAX). Can't say what the future holds for aircraft placement.

Re: schedules. PBS does interesting things when either staffing is below target, or it is a holiday month. Considering we are in NOV, this is most likely the issue. If PBS goes down the line and gets to the most JR guy in base with a ton of open time on certain days, it unstacks or as they now call it "coverage award". I don't understand exactly how it works, but all of the sudden it doesn't exactly matter what you bid. It starts dumping trips on people to get rid of the excess open time. This may be the reason for some unexpected results. Take a look at your reasons report or ask the Scheduling Cmte.
