I don't know why you aren't banned from these forums, if you're going to stir **** up, at least have your facts straight.

Whoa dawg, don't get all hostile. I know jumping regionals in search of da holy grail must be frustrating, peace be with you.

Really? I'm on track to make $65k this year as a FO.

Not trolling at all.

Horse hockey. You'd have to be crediting 120 hours a month (which is doable, I have done it myself) to make that much. The same Mesa CA would be making 100K+ with per diem. Your comparison is apples to oranges.

So you know how much he earns a year?

Jeezus dude, he said how much in his post.

Yes...I do understand that.

Bottom line--I'm really just sick of hunching over on the walk of shame to the aft lav of the 700, and at Mesa existing CRJ CAs are barred from lateral transfer to the EJet, so the EJet will be a junior airplane here for at least the next 4-5 years.

I don't mean to sidetrack your thread--I'm just a former 9e pilot who has come out really well (for now) by finally bailing out of that sinking ship. I hope all of you will find better opportunities than sitting around DTW/JFK on 4th year FO pay in perpetuity--you're better than that (at least the Pinnacle guys I know are!).

seriously dude? wow.

correct...Skywest is. They wrote a check for $80,000,000 to place 14 aircraft at UA then bid 50% below the lowest bidder in PHX to avoid parking aircraft.

Though I hear that 50-seat contract won't be renewed whenever it's up (now I hear it'll be up in December, keeps changing depending on who I talk to), I wonder about the feasibility of running CRJ7/9's to a place like Flagstaff. Maybe they'll decrease frequency or just put a turboprop on it.
