If I called you a derogetory name or something, the moderators would be jumping down my throat and deleting my posts, but what you've done is worse and strikes at the heart of what pilots hold most dear, their ability to do their job well.
maturity? Check yourself dude.
Go ahead skillett and call us butt buddies again, I don't care. Prior121 has contributed a great amount of value to this thread, as have you. Sure he may be wrong, but thats the beauty of the debate...
Past all that. I'm not here to put people down anymore. But Prior is being immature toward some of the other post. I'm just answering his question in that last thread. Since he brought it up again, I thought I would direct it back at him.

Glad you had a sense of humor on that. I was laughing when I text it but then realized everyone might take it the wrong way as usual. But since your talking to MK and them. Training usually gets info early because they will be doing the training. So keep posting, I want to try and piece together why some guys aren't getting sooner class dates. Maybe the new CRJ's in the summer like last year? Because if we add 20 new CRJ's I would have to think if it's even worth waiting for the EMB. Especially if I want to move on soon.

You can probably get into CLT pretty quick. I'm seeing a lot of new faces. The CRJ 900 RUMOR is for Airways out of CLT I'm pretty sure. You can expect 4 day trips with 11 days off minimum a month. Schedules and day offs change monthly. Ex. I have many two days bumped up against four days (six days total) with 15 days off this month. But July, August, September and October had 11 days off and all four day trips. As for when you can hold a line and other factors like that. Some of the newer guys on here should be able to help you more. Sounds like some of the guys aren't getting called back for interviews. Some have been offered a job next fall. If we were to get additional flying soon you would think they would be offered jobs in the spring. Anyway they will need more pilots this next year for sure so I guess keep trying. And if some of the newer guys can help out on line holding wait times and such, feel free to jump in.

I'm sitting on an "offer" from them that has a class date for May. I responded, but have had absolutely no contact from them. Equally as bizarre is that trying to get in touch with someone who actually knows what's going on seems about as easy as getting a one-on-one meeting with the Pope.
Needless to say I didn't wait around for someone to contact me for very long before taking another offer. I don't care if you're the best regional out there or the worst, treating people like that is just a lousy way of doing business. It's a shame too -- I'm sure (or at least I hope) that this kind of treatment is an exception to the rule with how Mesa treats their employees, but they seem to forget that first impressions are everything. They aren't the only game in town.

I got hired in the summer and I was awarded Charlotte in October. I've been on reserve since then but they've been flying me a lot, which is what I want, I'm always on a trip. So far I haven't had a day where I just sit in Charlotte and do nothing. I believe there are about 15-20 FOs on reserve right now in CLT. I'm in the top 10 of the reserves at the moment and I'm hoping I can hold a line in January with the 117 rules taking effect and hopefully more upgrades out of CLT. We'll see what happens. Hope that helps.

I commute, so far it hasn't been bad. I commute in the day of and back on the last day. You're reserve schedule will depend on how well you know how to use pbs. So far every month I gotten the reserve days I asked for. I always bid to work reserve for six days and then have three days off between reserve periods which is nice. I know some people who are more senior than me haven't been as lucky simply because they put some odd restrictions into pbs.

I am hoping for either ORD or IAD.
Also, I've heard that the 10 additional 900's are coming from American to operate under the AE name. Not sure if anyone else has heard anything similure or not...

Do you have any idea of which base is likely to be awarded initially?
