Nice! Looking forward to it. I've got a little bit of 121 experience, before that I was flying for a little fractional ownership company

The Ejet is such a better product than the CRJ, though I loved flying the CRJ, the cabin is clearly inferior to the Ejet. I suspect you'll see more and more of this shift.

I agree. My experiences as a passenger on the Ejet have always been much more enjoyable than on the CRJ. My elbows don't want to look out the windows, my face does.

We still have Jan class EJET FOs in TRN status. Feb was a small class and are currently in sim. The March class is starting sim next week. March was a bigger than normal class, so when they're done with IOE things should ease up a bit. There was also a bit of a training bottleneck. It is likely a culmination of these things triggered holdbacks to the CRJ, if true.

Trust me, it's true

And our Texas bread-and-butter is even better now b/c the hotels have improved significantly in AUS/SAT

The new SAT hotel is way nicer, although I do miss the complimentary Freedom Fitness pass at the old one.

Dumb question: are SAT/AUS done from Dallas or Houston? Or from IAD? I have zero clue what Mesa's route structure is, though I guess I'll know more in a couple weeks.
