I was trying to JS a few weeks back and the gate agent said there was another UA mainline pilot in the JS...but it was a a320 with two jumpseats...she refused to believe there were two jumpseats and wouldn't help me. How can I avoid this tomorrow?

Should this happen again.....please ask to speak with the Captain. If that doesn't work, try to seek out the other JS'er to enlist their help.

I'm still debating. I got a class date today. I'm in Houston so Iah would be a must. I've got multiple offers and am seeing which would be the best option.

Tell 'em 175 or you walk. They'll give it to you.

I was given the 175 in IAH. Can a current Mesa guy please PM? I just want to get the low down on the company and current state of things without having to read 800 pages of drama. Thanks!!!!

I pray to the Flying Spaghetti Monster that we don't ever see another 200 that does more than keep our pay rates down. Worst thing ever. The only upside is that maybe some of the CA in IAD who came from ORD would go there if they had an MSP base.
We don't need more 200 flying. What we need is more CRJ flying for UA, if GoJet can get some, we should be able to also...the EJet is nice, but those of us who are die hard CRJ drivers need more too...

Everything has to fit within their route network, fleet planning and scope clauses. Third, it should be pretty obvious at this point that United doesn't like the CR7, they aren't adding anymore; in fact their fleet plan shows a few airframes leaving the fleet this year.
