What base will the E-Jets be at? IAD or ORD? Or are they opening up another base for the 175s.

The contract. FO's cannot change equipment unless upgrading. Captains cannot change equipment unless pay raise. This is the interesting part. All captains on reserve or vacation are paid 50 seat pay. (We still have 3 50 seaters in Hawaii). Union has group grievance pending. So, does management settle grievance to prevent training costs, or maintain 50 seat pay and let captains go wild bidding over to new plane? Still waiting on that and where the planes will be at.

It is known that Mesa is a really "bad place to work". Can someone elaborate on why? What is so bad about this place as compared to other regionals contract wise? The pay is low, but it's low everywhere else. I am referring to everything else...
Thanks!
Thanks!

With the 900 rates now effectively gutted to equal 700 rates, there will be every reason for CRJ commuters to move to the 175s as they will achieve a pay raise (76 seat pay on reserve & vacation.) I can't see the company letting that happen - it would just be massively expensive.
Hopefully they just get rid of this ridiculous 50 seat base pay issue.

Baron - it isn't that bad anymore. Honestly, there are many issues, some of them are glaring. But I think a lot of what you're referring to comes from several years back. We've made some vast improvements since those days. I've been here over 10 now - so I have a little perspective. I'm sure many others on here will have me drawn & quartered for saying this - but I believe it to be true. We can get into specifics if you like - but right now me wife says breakfast is ready!!!
