Lots of these are impossible to answer. Read the WHOLE thread, and maybe you can glean some more data.
CLT crews = low 100s for FO's. Easy to get out of training. If you miss it cause you're last in your class, you probably can get within a few months after.
Jr lines = 11 days off per month. 1 to 4 day trips. 1 to 6 legs a day usually. average credit per day around 4 to 5 hours.
More 900s - until it happens, don't count on it. we can't tell you for sure on a message board what is going to happen. Its all rumor until they show up.
Lots of people are having trouble getting the recruiters to respond. No clue on how to beat that system. Even internal recs not necessarily getting responses. Must be a lot of interest.

Thanks very much. That was helpful. If anyone has a name and number to call it would be appreciated. Thanks!!

You're welcome - good luck! I may have been a little generous on that average credit. Lets say 3 to 5 hours per day, 3 being really sucky and 5 being about the best you can ever expect. Jump on here guys and set me strait if I'm wrong on this.

At least 10 more Us Airways/American CRJ 900's confirmed for this spring. By APLA representatives at the APLA meeting. 2 by Feb. possible, based in CLT

My buddy had a 30 hour layover in the middle of a trip couple weeks back. This was considered a day off. Mesa is still a complete **** hole. I almost feel bad for all the suckers working over there.

I'm calling BS on this one--unless the 30-hour layover was in domicile, it wasn't considered a day off, and if it was, all they need to do is call scheduling or a chief pilot and get it re-coded.

You almost feel bad for people who can't leave because of sweat equity they've developed in a place? Get them a better job elsewhere while retaining longevity then.

The layover however was a common occurrence on the NOV. bid with at least 1 appearing on every bid. Great places like cle, mem, Sbn etc.... It was just complete inefficient crap. Mesa is not what it was...6-7 yrs ago but it's still the same mgmt. Team, same people in the "crystal palace," same crap being passed down for the union and the pilots to sort out. Maintenance team at mesa is suffering, plus pay and contract protections are still completely inadequate.
Btw the "travelalliance" company doing the hotels.... Holy sh*t do they s*ck!
J/O still knows and still does what he does. No changes.
No sugar coating from me.
