Yeah that's not why at all. United also has A380 rates rates. Are they gonna fly the A380? No. But if for some reason hell freezes over and plans change, it's a hell of a lot easier to have rates for every possibility, rather than have to renogiate with the pilots when a new type is brought in...

I mean collectively, between Mesa and our partners. I stopped trying to guess how things will play out and just be happy for what I do have.

Always be grateful for what you do have. It could always be worse. Great response man! Props!

It's like you are being deliberately obtuse.

You are forgetting the thousands of military, corporate and guys flying overseas all fighting for those mainline jobs along with the regional folks.

Park all the 50 seaters, with CFI's, et al. coming up the ranks, there will be plenty of "kids" to fly the CR7s/9s/EJETs at the regional level....

Exactly, the regional airline model may shirk but it isn't going anywhere anytime soon. People that tout that the regionals are going away and that we will all be hired by mainline is just something they can dream about to make themselves feel better about never getting out otherwise.

Would be awesome if they opened an EJET base at IAD.

Except that it's IAD, which means California cost of living to be close to basically featureless terrain and horrible weather with loads of bureaucrats as your neighbors. No thanks!

The weather isn't bad and your tune will change once you get a taste of Ejet schedules
