Not many. Most have already chosen to upgrade or wait. The first new hires from last year after all of the furloughs were recalled are already upgrading. I think it was a 16 month upgrade for the first guy who went through and now it may get even faster

Wait for...? How many is not many? Last I heard there were many more than not many.

I actually was talking to two separate IAD guys hired prior to 2013 (2006 and 2007) who don't want to.... have other sources of income and have no interest in going back to reserve or a crappy line or commuting. So they're out there.

Did this come out via email? It's not listed on the bidding hub. I'm beginning to think I'm not getting all the company emails I'm supposed to be, I've never received an APCL/MCL email.

Yeah I imagine you're not part of the "pilots" group. have IT add you. Simple phone call or email will solve the problem.

Don't think your supposed to be added until after released from
IOE, at that point it probably slips thru the cracks with how busy this place is these days.

They're just trying to see how many CAs they can get out of CLT voluntarily before they displace them. They're looking for takers so they don't have to pay for moving expenses, etc..

We are not fat on Captains on the CRJ at all. I would bet money they simply looked at the CLT CAs current bids and someone said "oh wow those 7 guys will go to PHX and those guys will go to DFW!!! Let's see if they go voluntarily and push back this displacement another month!!!"

Same old Mesa tactics--and I don't blame them at all for it--they're just trying to save themselves as much money as possible.

Anyone with a spouse making six figures would be insane to upgrade onto reserve, especially if it meant commuting to another base.

There are a handful of men & women at Mesa with spouses making really good money in PHX & IAD. Simply being home with the kids instead of hiring a babysitter is probably worth as much as the pay boost from FO lineholder to CA on reserve!!!
