What is going on in Dallas? We are so fat on FOs that guys are just sitting around. Anyone hear why we are bulking up so heavy on people and in DFW. Doesn't seem like we having the block hours to justify the staffing.

The Captain side is better staffed than the right seat for now. I wouldn't anticipate any upgrades until either there is some attrition or until some of the initial cadre guys go back to the CRJ. Last I heard, the next upgrade class is scheduled for Spring 2016....but as proven just a few minutes ago, plans change.
As they award 175 FO's CRJ CA slots, there has to be meat to replace them.

You don't know the half of it. I will leave it at that.
You are thinking way too far ahead with your second statement.

Tell me about it, I've done one repo from CLT-DFW and one CRP turn out of DFW this month, that's it. Only flown 5 hours so far this month.

Walking through the B terminal and seeing lines of people at the service desks getting rebooked and vouchers because of cancellations.
Gate agents hiding in the jetways because they don't want to face the peeps and clean up the Mesamess.
Mesa pilots walking through the terminal looking like whipped dogs, afraid to look anyone in the eyes or untucked their tails.
The McDonalds at the 30ish gates can't make enough dollar menu burgers quick enough to feed all the poor Mesa FOs. (I hear they are hiring more help for you reserve FOs not being used)
And why are all of the Mesa FAs always sprinting from gate to gate?
I really hope you guys are able to turn it around in DFW, if not it's probably okay because AA won't give you the boot since you own the airplanes.

Do you just sit in the terminal watching Mesa crews and write everything down in your little "I Hate Mesa" notepad?? That's weird bro, use that energy on a hobby or getting a girlfriend.

Well, it is pretty obvious if you spend even 5 mins there. The OP isn't hating on you, it seems like he's asking an honest question.
