More 175's would be nice. I'd think AA but who knows. It'd be nice if they finally let Captains switch equipment. Did we ever find out what happened to the one Captain who downgraded with the intent of re-upgrading on the Ejet?

Also, there's a film crew on the Phoenix ramp today. They're filming a recruitment video. Look your best.

I know some FAs got a trip to Cali to screw around and look happy on camera recently. We don't need a video to recruit. We need decent recruiters who aren't too busy flying to do their job and call people back, better pay by way of a new contract, a CTP, and some sort of sign on/retention bonus, or flow (not that I like flows but enough people do to get them in the door).

JO is an idiot if he thinks he can shell out a few grand to make a budget video to keep staving off pay increases and fixing real problems with the company. In his own words he will pay pilots what the market demands...looking around I think the market is demanding more, hence the classes not being as full as he wants or needs if we are to keep growing.

I heard United was going to buy them and integrate seniority lists.

Hmmm... This is all making sense, J.O. stating that later this summer we would have street captains, rumors of buying an Ejet sim, now this rumor...

There is however really only one thing I worry about with Mesa, and that is growing too quickly. If it is 60 airplanes, thats growing too quickly in my book...
