A May '13 hire can't hold a line

This is all subject to change in the next couple months as CRJ and EJET upgrades windup.

Lets hope!

Has scheduling over at Mesa gotten any better? Any word on how they plan on recruiting once classes stop filling up after new republic TA passes(My own prediction)?

Hey question for you Mesa guys --- do they at least put you up in decent hotels? Eagle was awful.

In my experience, I haven't had a hotel room that I would consider awful, although I've heard stories. Currently some are mediocre but we also have a couple that are very nice. I've never experienced bed bugs or dirty rooms, thankfully.

They're all pretty ok. Unless you're headed for Louisville and afraid of ghosts..:rolleyes:

I start in 2 weeks anything I should be aware of? Hows moral with the pilot group and any news on the next contract?

There's an ALPA pilot wide call tomorrow. We haven't had one in a couple months so hopefully it should be full of news us worker ants aren't privy too out on the East Coast. :D

As far as moral this place is all what you make it. Morale is leaps and bounds better than what it was like working for Reverend Bedford at Republic. However, we aren't all smiles like those Skywest guys.

Hotels seem like they've improved a bit in the last few months. For a bit I was staying in some horrid stuff, Best Western's that shouldn't even be more than Hotel 8's,etc. Lately I've been staying in Radisson's, Marriott's, nicer Holiday Inns.

Speaking of worker ant, I haven't flown in a week and a half again.

Living in base, life is good.:cool:

Nice I've been hoping you guys get competitive with the next contract so we can be just as happy as skywest guys while still attracting new guys that wont be looking at a fast upgrade. I'm hoping for ORD out of the schoolhouse, fingers crossed.

The most Junior FO in ORD is a November 2013 hire. Which means he wasn't even online for a month before he was award ORD.

Hopefully Republic's TA will help dry up the pool of people coming here, which in turn will put pressure on MAG management for a new TA.
