MKE is really junior for the CRJ, and it's an AWESOME base. Great flying, sweet overnights (although I can't speak for all the new Skyway cities that we have been adding lately), and the crews are a blast. You'll love it there.

And that union is doing a great job at Mesa. Sign me up!

CHM wasn't that great. I do like the MSN, SAT and COS overnights though. The MKE crews are great

Keep telling yourself that...

Mesa is alpa by the way...a shining example of alpa at the regional level.

:eek:
your not serious right!....

It's unfortunate that every other thread gets turned into this nowadays.

Anyhow, a slight hijack: how much longer do ya'll think the bro will be around?

Yes, they're called trolls. Your job is to not reply to them for crissakes! (I know you weren't replying directly, waf)

It boggles my mind - how long have internet forums been around now? Long enough for people to know better than to take the bait :confused:

The UAX bros are gone in 2-3 years, since they already have a replacement plan (700's). There is no schedule for the DAL bros, but without the UAX birds the overhead to support a handful of DAL planes will get pretty steep...so I think their days are numbered too.

My understanding, which admittedly could be incorrect, is that the FAA's Aging Aircraft Safety Rule which came out in 2005 requires some intensive and costly inspections for transport airplanes over 14 years old. The rumor I heard is that as the Brasilias hit that mark, they'll simply be retired. Supposedly it just won't be cost effective to keep them in service.

So if that's true and I did my math right, they'll all be gone by 2011. Well, by 2012. Some of them might leave during 2011.

Consider how many "pilots" flew for MESA, that are now flying for Skywest. So they changed a great deal as far as being "professional," and are no longer lowering the bar because they moved on from one regional to another?

A company has knowingly hired pilots from another company. Many of these pilots only intention for working at a particular company was so they could get on at another, slightly, if at all, more reputable company, both doing flying that should be done for much much much higher wages. Use and abuse! Sooner or later, another company will undercut both of these, and it will be, hilarious. Choose wisely, pick your poison.
