EJET vs CRJ



apply said aircraft type: E175 (ERJ170/190) you will upon reaching and flying said aircraft see a difference. Said "Present Value" will have gone up quite substantially.

This is jibberish.

If pay is the same or higher for an ejet, not taking into account bases, I would take that over a 200 any day. Not because it's shinier, but way more comfortable, a lot less old and rickety, and probably not covered in Orange MEL stickers nearly as often, and the cockpit hasn't had 15-20 years of not being cleaned and smelling like crap.

In mesa's case, I would take an ejet if I didn't live in Phx or Dallas already, due in large part to base seniority becoming way better on the e175 for anyone getting in right now anyway. All the early ejet hires will be upgrading soon (most are prior 121) and they are still hiring for the remaining 11 airplanes. No brainer if you want to live in Houston.

1.

The phrase “present and future flying of any form performed in and for the service of the Company” includes without limitation all such flying 1) on the Company’s aircraft (whether leased or owned), or 2) under the Company’s operational control, including wet leases and contracting for other carriers or entities (government, military or commercial).

2. Notwithstanding paragraph 1.B.1., above, the Company may assign or contract out revenue flying for a period of sixty (60) days during the term of this Agreement if a) such conduct is necessary to accomplish the needs of the service of the Company, and b) the Company does not have sufficient aircraft and pilots to perform the revenue flying assigned or contracted out, and c) no pilot on the Mesa Air Group Pilots System Seniority List is furloughed, or remains on furlough, while the company contracts out revenue flying.

3. The Company shall not create or acquire an “alter ego” to avoid the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
Resurrecting the Freedom certificate does not create an alter ego if the pilots come from the Mesa Pilot seniority list. That language has been the same since 2003 and Freedom has come as gone a couple times since then.

Whatever pays the most. That's what aircraft I want to fly. End of story.

Exactly. ex-F8 here, by the way.

My b*tching about the lack of new 700s/flying was just that b*tching. Don't take it so seriously, yo. We lost a lot of UA flying back in 2009 when ASA took it over and we parked all our 200s. Now we're getting a lot of those routes back again and losing our Texas flying (at least for a bit).

And for those who say that flying the 200 is like flying the 175... all I have to say is "Welcome to Mesa" obviously you've never flown a 200 on a hot day with no APU and climbed above FL200. -smh- Newbs...

The CR7's certainly fit a market that the Ejet does not. We are still parking 15 of them this year to 100 CR7's in the UAX fleet. As the UAL scope matures it limits the number of 70 seaters to 102 I believe. The ancillary revenue from Wi-Fi, Econ Plus, etc. makes the investment worth it, even if the CR7's only have 7-10 years left.

Considering that regionals can't fill classes right now, the last thing UAL wants to see is cancellations for "no crew" at UAX. That is what happened with XJT that played a part in them losing all those 145's. I think we are going to start seeing more and more flying return to mainline, after all that is where the applicants are. 50 seaters should be parked no later than 5 years from now, CR7's not too far behind that, IMO.
