It is a pain being in the red, though. It sucks not to be able to drop anything.
Granted, the problem with the 175 is the bottleneck in training at the sim these days. However, attrition is picking up drastically on the FO side and even on the captain side too.

Yes IAD only posted 4 reserve fo for March but also had like 20 hours of open time for the month. Take a look at the last standing bid. Basically all new cry pilots going to there. Also standard Mesa they staff reactionary not proactive. Plenty of reserves in Dfw and Phx so we're not falling off the fo wagon just don't have them in the right spots.

From the "Thinking of coming to Mesa" thread.

Also it invites speculation and anger.."why haven't we heard anything yet??" type questions. I've seen it on paper in official form...the DFW Chief Pilot's office (Envoy) received the notice first in December 2015. Not sure how the FA's Union got hold of it, but they sent out an official Union email informing them of Mesa's departure in 2017.
So don't take my word for it. But if being DFW based is your ultimate goal I wouldn't go to Mesa right now. For NUMEROUS reasons that go beyond the DFW base, but that is just another reason.

Are you DFW based? Go up to an Envoy FA and ask him/her about it. Their Union sent out an official comm about it in January. Not sure why, but they did.

I'll bring the conversation over here too.
A lot of Mesa guys would love that since Phoenix has been our historical base, and DFW Eagle's. Kind of a "all is right with the world" switch, except mainline has intentionally diversified the regionals in each base so they can't Comair or have an RAH-like staffing crisis and singlehandedly kill performance metrics. Nice if true, but won't hold my breath. Last question: have you heard anything about when this would purportedly go public?

But again, I don't know exactly.

Any chance of putting up the eagle FA email concerning the move on here so we could see the specifics?
