However on another thought if this would help secure more e jets and there would be a way to avoid staffing issues then I would be all for it.
I Don't think lateral bidding will ever happen. It costs too much money. Yearly, they might let 10 captains bid over for vacancy. But open lateral bidding will never happen. If Mesa continues causing cancellations on the E-Jet. We will lose this contract sooner than later. Flight Attendent crew cancellations have been prevalent the last two weeks. The huge displacements from CLT, PHX and IAD have caused a number of FA's to quit.

This company WILL NEVER agree to a contract which will allow CRJ CA's to bid E175 CA, EVER.

Good for them. The company needs to realize that employees won't always necessarily follow them around like puppy dogs when you start yanking them around.

True, but then again we should remember this is a regional NOT a major. We are simply hookers going out to make money for the pimps (the majors). That's why I always find it funny when people try to act and or think this is mainline. Unless we were at mainline Skywest of course haha.

Haha its ok. From my understanding we now have two sims in Phoenix we are using. The original one which will probably stay configured as a 900. Then a second sim which will stay configured as a 200.

Maybe not. But several Captains I highly respect think JO's playbook calls for improving work rules in lieu of improving pay rates on the next contract. Makes sense.

Just got off the phone with crew-trac. The first thing she said was "your flight attendant missing as well"? I told her no, what's going on? 20 flight attendents have not shown for their shift this morning.
