Once all the aircraft have been delivered, upgrades into the EJET will slow down significantly giving a chance for the guys and gals who didn't meet the minimums this time around to catch up. I anticipate in a couple of months it will jump back up to late 2013 / early 2014 hires as that happens, but that is a WAG.
Forgive me for not looking more carefully, but are the minimum requirements 1000 hours time in 121 ops? If not, what minimums are required for the ones not meeting them.
Thanks again.

Yes, 1000 hours in air carrier ops is what seems to be holding people up.

About how many flight hours per month do the FO's average on the EJET?
Seems like mostly new hires are manning that airplane since Mesa started getting them last summer. I could be wrong though.

There are only a couple more upgrade classes planned right now for the EJET. Several of the initial cadre guys are planning on staying. They have a 2 year deal too, so unless some of them are itching to get out early, they'll probably be in IAH until the end of the year or early into next year.

The Mesa pilot contract does not allow FO's to bid between aircraft as an FO, so all EJET FO's are new hires. I would say the average line value is in the 80-85 hour range.

Ask away guys...the more info you are armed with the better. You know you can swap RSV days around in FLICA right?

You still need 1000 hrs 121 and captain recommendations. That was easy for the 10/30/2014 hire b/c he is a former Mesa captain with thousands of hours. Look at the second most recent CRJ captain upgrade.

OK....the second most recent CRJ captain upgrade has 3 year prior 121 experience, is well educated, and one hell of a pilot. The dude got here on pure determination. And the point your trying to make?
