As for international, we tried to go SFO-HKG. Seven hours before departure they were showing 70 open seats. Got to the airport and it was 11 oversold. Tried Honolulu with the same result. I've seen the same thing many, many times.
Not sure why, but Delta mainline seems much better in this respect...

It was the same deal for the Hawaii guys.
Everyone gets UAL bennies...Only guys based in a US/AA domicile get US/AA bennies.
Besides your not missing much anyway. Unless you list for the Jumpseat, Mesa employees are put on the standby list BEHIND D3s! (AA buddy pass holders)

All CRJ pilots on the mainland (which is to say all CRJ pilots now), can and do perform flying for both mainline partners--so all CRJ pilots get to non-rev in both systems. For example, one time as an IAD lineholding FO, I had a UAX CLT-IAD flight cancel, and crew sched reassigned my CA and I to operate a CLT-IAD flight in the Airways system. It's not just reserves--everyone can and occasionally does do flying for both partners.
I'm just saying the IAH base is the only place where no one is going to touch an Airways flight number, hence in theory no one there will have Airways benefits after this year's enrollment period ends.

Everyone I know stayed on Airways bennies even while we were out in Hawaii. I think it depends on your presently-awarded base during the enrollment window.

Just to reinforce my statement that NAI's standards for PICs are much higher than US regionals' standards for PICs:
Minimum Requirements
Minimum Requirements
- JAA/EASA License
- JAA/EASA medical Class one
- 5000 hours total time
- 2000 PIC hours on any Boeing aircraft
- 500 hours on B787, B777, B767 or B747-400
- Current B777, B767/B757, B747-400 or B737 type rating
- Under 61 years old at date of application
- Non type rated B777/787 pilots need to provide a training cost bond for three years, decreasing by 1/3 each year
To further my point above....once the aircraft has an established safety/reliability record with the air carrier the above in bold would most likely be the most restrictive to someone like yourself. I did add B787 because that is what the insurance company would do over time.

Or, what if J.O. Negotiates with Air France, and Mesa gets a couple of Concordes? Or what if Mesa brings back a Convair 990? How cool would that be?
No No No, I am waiting for Mesa to get a DC6, I feel like flying some round engines!

Eff that! I heard from J.O.'s brother's, cousin's, girlfriend's, dog that Mesa is getting a government contract to fly F/A-18s against ISIS in the Middle East at $20/flight hour! Pretty cool huh?

I heard that we would only get to use the standard iron bombs. If we want to use JDAM's, we are going to have to pay for that out of our paychecks.
