Sure, that means they can cancel the whole thing and run a new one. But they can't not fill a legitimate bid they issued. They should have cancelled it again and rerun it.

Ohhhh come now. Mesa Mgmt can do ANYTHiNG they want to do.

No pushback from anybody. Least of all the worthless union.

Get used to it.

As far as opening up Dallas for CA upgrades, your still going to get IAD, as senior IAD CA's on reserve bid for DFW to get lines.
Somebody was saying that they are losing more Q's than receiving Ejets. And also that you'll go straight to the Q and not the Ejet.

I'd be tempted, but unless you are senior enough, you'll be stuck on reserve. I'll let the more senior CA's in DFW go for that!

Also very interesting, people are putting QOL above upgrading and bigger paycheck.. Can't blame anyone for not wanting to go to IAD and be stuck on reserve until the day they quit, paying for expensive hotel rooms or rent!

And they don't start until next spring. That's still a year away.

Man I don't blame you for not wanting to commute from Houston to ORD with Envoy. But you should've at least stuck around long enough to give them a 2 weeks notice man. By bouncing before giving a 2 weeks notice you are now not eligible for hire at any AAG carrier, including the mother ship.

After receiving more then a few emails already today I'd like to remind everything that all contractual timed events are based off of Phoenix local.

What is up with all the lifer Captains playing on their cell phone while taxing around the ramp, on short final, or lining up on the runway? I've recently flown with several CAs who totally disregarded sterile cockpit, and all of them were 20+ year lifers. One of them had a single digit seniority #.

For the record, I don't care what you do when level at 360 or parked in the hold pad with the parking brake set. We all slip in a little idle chit chat below 10K now and then, but tailgating another jet while talking on Facetime is a little out of hand. I've spent several four day trips guarding the brakes when on the ground, I can't steer this pig, but I can stop her.

I'm pretty sure that "Electric Devices ---- Off" means Off.

How'd the conversation go when you asked them to put it away? How'd the convo go with pro stands or the chief pilot when you got no resolution? Venting/calling people out on a public forum and calling attention to your airline isn't the right way to effect change. Man up and talk to them about it if you feel something is unsafe/against rules and regs.
