The ejet beats the crj in literally every other way. Bigger overhead bin space that can hold 2x more wider/fatter bags than the crj, more reliable and don't break down more often, longer range and better for fuel, better air conditioning, roomier cockpit, the list goes on. The passeneger rate it way higher in terms of comfort than the crj. The pilots also love going to the ejet from the crj. It's like a breath of fresh air.

Mesa's crj's are clapped out and break down whenever they want, where ever they want. Caused a ton of lost money and cancellations for the company.

I agree with the other poster, they need to come asap, start getting all crj fo/ca type rated NOW

The 175 has wifi, fits your bag, doesn't come with a dirty interior, and is an overall better passenger experience.

personally i prefer dropping my bag at the jetbridge. my cooler doesn't even fit in the 175 overhead bin but fits in the crj900.

If they want this to be a successful, no delay transition instead of having crj pilots getting a fat salary by doing nothing but staying at home for months on end on a "vacation"..... They need to start the transition NOW.

Get them all to go to sims overseas as well... Because I guarantee if you stick them to just phx sims (where other airlines also schedule the sim, not just Mesa).... It will take a year+ to get through everyone. And they already know that because there was a point in time recently where ejet training for initial was 1.5 years+ lol
