How do you know they bad class in the morning?

How do you know it was the current Mesa class?

Maybe they were passing thru after coming back from dinner with ALPA?

Maybe they were off the next day?

Maybe they were upgrades?

Maybe class hasn't started yet and they don't know the rules.

Kinda a lame broad statement to make.

You'll fly the same routes compared to mainline for 1/4 of the cost!! wake up, do some research. Retirements will spur hiring but hell, at this rate mainline can furlough their guys have them rehired and PSA or Mesa and staff those RJs that are flying ALL domestic flights. All while mainline focuses it's fleet on International flying. Get a clue
Your scenario ignores the fact that it's not the contracts that regional carriers sign with the pilots that determines where those airplanes go, it's the scope clauses within the contracts that the majors have their own pilot groups.

As long as mainline groups continue to take back scope your scenario is unlikely.

Because I happen to know two of the guys in the class who had told me that they had class the next day starting at 7AM.

I'm not trying to get the trolls started here, it just seemed that this round of new hires were not the best to have which is unfortunate.

Back on topic, anyone think that some of the E175s that AA just ordered will go to Mesa out of CLT? Yes I know that AA's goal is to get them to Eagle, but if that fails, it fails. Obviously the deployment would probably be after the current E-Jets that Mesa is getting for UA have begun deployment.

Haven't really followed, but when so your Ejets come on property? And how many? Seems like more could fit after 2015.... They are going to ask eagle for a lot. If they don't play ball with douggie they'll find a new home.

I believe they come either Feb or April of 2014. As far as the first actual revenue flight, pretty sure that is TBA.

And you let them go without a good spanking and lecture on morality? You sir are part of the problem. Be sure to wear your white robe the next time you cast judgement on an entire group of professionals based on a "seems like" statement...just sayin.
