Actually you don’t even need to get reimbursed. Just call down to 44th Street and tell them you go to Riddle and plan to apply for Mesa when you have your hours in. They will call up to Prescott and get your tuition on the house.

One in Houston too, even all over Mesa’s social media and website. Can’t forget about going to Brazil to pick up a new plane. *shrug*

I think they call JO directly to request tuition reimbursement. Then they choose which major will be graced with their presence, televised kinda like Lebron James and “The Decision”.

economics on a range of 250NM and seating capacity of 19 in our case? I won’t even get into the extremely lacking technology that is possessed currently. What’s the charge time like? It’s not gonna be short most likely. Therefore you’re limited to what 2 legs a day per aircraft? Obviously things like cold weather is gonna effect the performance it just has so many question marks it’s not even remotely viable currently.

Supposedly 30 mins per 1hr flight. Again, you may not like it but the future of short haul is 100% electric. The economics of it is just way to good to ignore. This isn’t even and environmental viewpoint, this is 100% a money one. And the end of the day money talks, and an electric aircraft blows a fuel burning one out of the water, and it isn’t even remotely close. You’d be an utter idiot to chose to run your airline on a conventional aircraft when an electric option is available.

I’m not against electric. I’m just stating the obvious that the technology isn’t viable yet.

Pilots suck at logistics. But I can see a bank of replacement batteries charging at the outstation as a potential solution to that issue. There's other issues though. Pressurizing it and heating/cooling have to be expensive. Electric compressor to provide something like bleed air would work but how much battery would it drain? Make it like a car and turn two of the engines into generators on descent to charge batteries. There's lots of easy and obvious solutions to issues. This is going to be the future and it'll have growing pains. But it's coming.

Default New contract?

With horizon ratifying a new contract, what’s our timeline for our new contract? 6 months, a year, two? How does new regional contracts affect hiring at low paying regionals? Is United’s aviates enough to pull people for these regional to not increase pay? Thanks guys.
