JO spoke to the classes in training on Tuesday (2 FA classes, two CRJ FO classes and one 175 FO class), he thinks our classes are right on the cusp. I tend to think we're just shy of it. Other people have opined that all upgrades required for airplanes that have been announced are already on property; I'm inclined to agree. My class' upgrades will probably come with the next batch of new flying announced.

121 is fine. 91 is also very good, but it can be volatile (depending on the company) -- that's the bad part. Right now I have to pay the bills, so if my 91 jet PIC doesn't impress a major, oh well -- I'll go instruct at FSI or CAE at 80-100K a year until I get the next 91 gig, if the majors poo-poo my existence.
I can't live and die by the airlines. I like what someone said to me a while back -- the only time you know you've made all the right decisions in aviation is when you retire!

We're looking at this from two different view points. I'm assuming you are a fairly recent addition to Mesa? The way I see it, I was a very junior CRJ captain but am now half way up the totem pole of the EJet. Unless Mesa is forced to drop the silos, the most senior captains are stuck on the CRJ.
And as far as 91/121 flying, the company can fly you unlimited under 91 but must make sure all rest requirements have been met before you can jump back to 121 ops.

And yes, we are talking about two different points. I'm talking about senior FOs and the ability to hold CRJ vs EJET.
And no, I'm not new, I've been here since hiring started last year, RAH /E175 refugee.

So it's official all 30 E-Jets will be going to IAH.
