The only say Mesa has in the process is where we decide to base pilots to most efficiently staff the schedules United gives us--I'm very confident we didn't "bid" on LAX or IAD or even IAH--we bid on planes, and then we go where they tell us to go, and we may or may not staff whatever they give us from a new base.
If by "bid" you mean "requested" then yeah--Mesa could've asked United to put us on LAX flying or whatever, but we didn't bid on any specific domiciles as part of securing the flying.

There is more to a contract than Mesa telling United where we would like to be based/bid. Unfortunately, corporate agreements are thicker than our current pilot contract and a little more intricate than can be explained by myself or in your 2 paragraphs above. Beyond that, what was the point of your contradicting/condescending post? I was correct about the 15 EJets and you'll see about the 3 EJets in Dec. Not that it matters because I don't come on here to prove what I know that others don't. I'm just trying to give some informed hypothesis of what is currently being discussed above us to fellow flying brothers/sisters. Nuff said.
Didn't mean to come off as condescending.

Since when do regionals "bid" on domiciles for equipment? Afaik we bid on capacity purchase/fee-for-departure RFPs--then United tells us when and where to go fly the planes (and they can completely change around where we're operating anytime they want--and they often do over time).

Maybe now we'll get some negotiators worth a damn.
Also, didn't know we were buying those new 15 Ejets outright.

I like this new tone a lot better after weeks of listening to them desperately trying to sell a bad deal.
