Default Leaving Mesa?

Starting to see Mesa pilots leaving for Envoy/Endeavor/PSA and other regionals. Mostly to wholly-owned regionals. Exodus begins... No surprise.

Ejet:

187 FO lines awarded, including Min Credit Window awards - looks like some of those hired 7/17 are still in training

179 CA lines awarded

Good news for FO’s as the pipeline is full and relief is on the way. CA’s not so much.

Given the number of Ejet FO’s in training, it looks like the decision to allow so many SIM instructors/check airman go back to the line was the stupidest, least cost effective decision I have ever seen management make.

Any guesses on what the lines will look like in Louisville and which cities will be covered with the new opening?

Not quite sure where your numbers are coming from, but they're off.

There were 175 eligible bidders on the Captain side for December. That resulted in 168 lines and 7 reserves.

Of those 7 reserves. 2 are there because of bid errors. 3 are there because they ultimately preferred reserve over a line in order to get Christmas.

For the FO's, there were 163 eligible bidders with 156 getting lines and 7 getting reserve.

Of those 7 reserves. 3 got reserve because of upgrade training. 2 got reserve cuz of bid errors. 2 got it because their bid ultimately led down that path to get required days off.

How bad was the unstacking this month?

I am a IAH captain, managed to get 78.2 hours with my bid (which is the min hours), but PBS threw a Xmas trip on it to get me to over 100 hours.

Very frustrating and unfair.

Straight off of the PBS Awards list in Bidding Hub. I screwed up and am counting Reserve Lines as Lines.

How many CA’s were unstacked? How many FO’s were unstacked?

The prime reason I believe we are short CA’s all the time. CA’s are being crapped on, and CA’s no longer care.

Educated guess (maybe MagPBS would know more) - it'll be typical DFW flying except starting and ending in SDF with lots of 1 and 2 day trips to minimize hotels. Great if you live there, although efficiency remains to be seen.

Looking at the PBS Awards, tons of coverage awards around Christmas. My favorite is when you say "Avoid ______," and then the coverage award gives you exactly that, while other coverage awards would've satisfied your request.
