Everyone except people writing manuals and certificates, to include pilots, use the "marketing" name. Better change your APC position under your name to E170-200 FO.

Well, from the CRJ side of things, it is hard to believe they have that many applications. From the E-jet side which has no lifers, and lots of movement with people getting hired, and continuous upgrades, I believe it. Everyone wants the E-jet, so they can be more selective.

Yep, great newsletter. Some of my favorite bits:
We just need to keep working well below industry average wages and everything will be groovy.
I dig the subtle anti-union propaganda.
Nothing like a picture of an exec on his half million dollar boat while we're the lowest paid in the industry.
Who wrote this?
Do people even think before asking questions?
No no no no, it was October of last year. 2015. That's when we were supposed to get Jetnet. Now it's 2017? Really? Predictable, but it's still a good kick to the balls to hear it confirmed.
Mesa will become insolvent before we ever get access to that website.
...and all the ones like this.
I think we all call BS on that. Our seniority list has actually shrunk marginally. It nearly touched 1300 (or did), now it's gone down from that number as we take on more Ejets and attrition only intensifies.
Yeah, that's just what this industry needs. Mesa widebodies.
The good news here is that we, at Mesa, have exactly the right fleet types on our certificate and none of the smaller, less efficient airplanes. As a result, we are in a prime spot to attract more business. All we need to do is insure we keep our costs low and our performance high, and our chances for growth are all but certain. And growth, of course, is what all our people want and need, as it brings upgrades, promotions, and job security.
An additional factor is the likely hood of its parent company, SkyWest, being more likely to route new airplanes to its non-union company.

Mesa is unable to attract new pilots or enough new ones and won’t be able to staff the coming E-jets and will thus not be able to meet its contractual obligation to United and will lose the contract and United will simply fly them themselves by offering Mesa e-jet pilots free entry into United to fly them there.
...The attributed and follow up rumor to forgoing is that United might decide to simply take back their airplanes (E-Jet) currently operated by Mesa and operate them self by offering Mesa E-Jet pilots "free" entry into United to fly that equipment. Not a bad scenario for me as a pilot I'd say but for Mesa as a company devas-tating. With all due respect! I am sure JO he will have some way of talking himself out of the situation! I am curious to read what it is :-)
American had promised that we would be integrated into their employee web site in the fourth quarter of this year. Now they are saying the middle of next year. American still has not developed much compassion for the employees of their non-wholly owned code share partners. …ST

Rumor:
The pool of new pilots has dried up.
Answer:
This is simply false. We get anywhere from 125-175 applications a month. We are being selective with the new hires and have processes in place for hiring. …Marcin

...it would be a great recruiting tool for Mesa to be able to supply A330 jobs and it is the only venture that our code share partners would not object to.

1. Not being able to list oneself.
2. Not being able to check oneself in.
3. Not being able to see an accurate non-rev list.
There's 3 right there.

Jetnet is more than just that.
I believe each WO has full access to everything that is required, but on company specific websites. NRTP (Non Rev Travel Planner) is where we are able to check loads and book nonrev tickets.
