Moot point.
Honestly if you want better flight benefits you should quit the regionals and go get a non flying position at mainline.

It was an hour and a half of JO not confirming or denying any rumors. Funny hearing flight attendants and mechanics call in and start with "I heard from a pilot" lol sounds like he's very confident we'll get more flying and has a personal goal of doubling the fleet in 5 years.

Did he discuss how he plans on staffing that many airplanes when the majors open the floodgates?

The age 65 rule caught up to us 2 years ago... I'm not convinced there will be any sort of hiring free-for-all.

That's what I got out of it too...

Sounds confident we are going to be doing business with Delta again.

Also we remain the #1 on-time UAX feed, sounded very confident we would be the ones to get the 2nd batch of 30 E175s.

Working on another 7-10 CRJ900s with american. CRJS remain priority over E175s with business w/ American.

I heard Mesa lost the South American CRJ bids. They still have the routes from AA but need to find 900s.

That's what I heard. We are actively looking for more 900s.

Would it be a smart move to hire the pilots for additional flying if we don't have the aircraft yet?

JO also said we are currently overstaffed by 40 pilots.
