I know for a fact this is wrong. If you want to PM me I'd be happy to talk to you about it.

On the L-XJT side, we have guys who have been here for 3 or more years jumping to Mesa, Compass and even GoJet among other places. I know of one from my 2011 new hire class that went to GoJet a couple of months back and quite a few who either have gone to or are going to Mesa.

Smart move IMO. No need to stay at a stagnant company for years on end slinging gear. Going to a company that has more than 1 vacancy bid every 6 months is better. Yes majors are taking Regional FOs, but not year 3 guys.

On the L-XJT side we are seeing our fleet shrink from 242 today to 197 next year. L-ASA are losing a number of CRJ-200s on a 2 for 1 basis for 700/900s I believe. Our CPAs don't look likely to be renewed and management plan to ask our major partners to simply pay more money for their existing contracts...a genius solution that is destined to fail. Go elsewhere, this place is awful.

Actually, it's worse than that. We currently have 252 ERJs and 165 CRJs. The fleet plan calls for 216 ERJs and 147 CRJs by YE2014. That's a loss of 54 aircraft.
The fleet plan shows a total of 200 aircraft loss by the end of 2017. This needs to be one of the questions you asked them when interviewing your prospective employer.

Just remember that it'll be nothing but sunshine, unicorns, and bright futures from pilot recruitment. Meanwhile they're hinting to their current employees that the end is nigh.

This. Doug H, be sure to let us know how bright they tell you the future is, because all we're hearing is that the company is going out of business because we greedy pilots get paid too much.
