United and Commutair are going to attempt to do an aircraft reshuffle with a half-ass flow and small wage increases during a pilot shortage. It's a bold strategy, Cotton, let's see if it pays off for them.

I think they staff the first 10 great with high time FOS from other airlines looking for a quick upgrade. As classes shrink, they park the Dashes at an accelerated rate to staff another 15.

Mesa has been around the longest in one form or another, and I think Johnny O came up with the Fee For Departure model. The only thing that is going to sink Mesa is pilots leaving.
One thing that never gets talked about, at a regional, is how management treats you. Right now, and since I've been here, have had a great working relationship. They are not pricks to us, the training department is common sense and not dicks, everyone is nice to the pilot group. The only hostility comes in the form of willingness to negotiate a better compensation and benefits package. Again, I'm not worried, they will do something when they have to, to keep the doors open.

You have to really be naive, or just another SkyWest dumb@ss if you really think money is the only important thing. Do any regional pilots get paid what they should? No.

Kind of a cryptic email from CC to the DFW pilots this afternoon.
I feel like there's a specific event this spurred this on...
