Anyone that tells you that ALL regionals aren’t about to shrink is selling you snake oil. The numbers don’t add up. Thousands and thousands of pilots will be needed at just the 4 major passenger airlines next year alone. What’s coming isn’t sustainable for the regionals.
it’s not just that regionals are going to shrink. They are going to flat out disappear. And that’s a good thing. Within 5 years the vast majority of regionals will be gone. And a year or two after that they will all be closed. The numbers just flat out don’t work. And there is no way around that. No pilots = no company.

Some people feed him, but I think everyone knows Coodrough is a troll.

Should get interesting over the next few years....

Basically, according to what United has said, pilots in certain bases flying exclusively for United can be in Aviate. If you bid to another base and fly trips for the competition then you’re out. With all of the hiring that is spooling up at the legacies, I tend to question the value of these programs unless you just have your heart set on a particular company. Outside of that, working for a company with fairly quick upgrades and a good chance of surviving the culling of the 50 seaters in the industry should be new applicants primary focus in my opinion.
Pilots with under 5 years on property are being taken by UA in Aviate.

Real question is what is with all of the Mesa CRJ900's with no real livery on them? Seem to be seeing more and more of them around. Plus the CRJ900s in PHX with the engines covered and the wheels covered in foil.
This really isn't that mysterious. If an airplane isn't part of the AA CPA it can't have American paint on it. Mesa took the cheapest route out. These planes can and are being used as spares while the airplanes on the CPA are getting heavy checks etc.

The foiled up parked planes are needed checks or are off the CPA.

We went from 63 to 43 on the CPA so 20 planes should be parked or be devoid of the AA livery.

Looks like we have some flat screen monitors and a laptop as our new CFO. Exciting times, I, for one, welcome our new computer overlords.

I’m just more surprised that we can win our new CFO in a raffle. JO really doesn’t value his employees no matter what position they hold.

Considering DFW is a Mesa base, you can probably park in the employee parking lot free of charge.

Nah unless it’s changed you need to be based there.
