It is absolutely insane that we live in a society where someone can borrow $100,000 at a ~4% interest rate with zero credit check--to get a BA, MA, and PhD in philosophy or Art History, but if you want to go do flight training--something that directly leads to a job--nooooooooooo, that's not allowed, because aviation didn't exist in ancient Rome, or when Oxford and Cambridge and the Sorbonne were churning out scholarly gentlemen in the Renaissance.
That's awfully specific. And when did it go from 30 to 18?

I thought we settled on it probably being 10 for now.

Delta just reached a TA with their pilots. How long have they been negotiating? And, How long have we? My point is that ALPA doesn't give a crap about the regionals.

And it got shot down in a blaze of glory. That said, legacy negotiations and regional negotiations aren't very comparable. You're right though, I think you'd be hard pressed to find many pilots who think ALPA is looking out for regional pilots' best interests. Our own ALPA reps are well intentioned, but that's not enough. Why a regional ALPA, RALPA, hasn't been formed in the last 20 years is beyond me. There's a very clear conflict of interest between legacy and regional pilots, though at least scope doesn't seem to be for sale anymore.
Many of us would love to see the regional model burn, but unless we could escape the Railway Labor Act, that's most likely just wishful thinking. As is, sadly, getting out of the Railway Labor Act.

Is there a chance Mesa will go public again?

For captain upgrade, I'm told Mesa will waive, to an extent, the 2500 TT rule in the CBA for circumstances such as military time, etc. The only applicable thing I could find was "The provisions of E.1. above may be waived at the discretion of the Company..." Part 121 makes no mention of a 2500 TT rule. My circumstances would be 1000 hours military and 1000 hours at Mesa. Anyone have knowledge on this?

Email standing bid and ask if they are waiving the 2500 TT requirement.

The FARs don't require it, but Mesa does, at least as of last year. They say it can be waived but I think that's reserved for dire situations, like if they couldn't fill the left seat.
