Reserve grid is a joke on the EJET CA side. Why are so many of you already picking up the open time and not waiting to pick up a trade when it's posted. Helping a fellow pilot out is much better than helping the company with their open time. Unless you are some greedy self absorbed piece of garbage.

Either way Mesa can still F^€£ itself.

Why not wait and pick up something on the trade board. I know guys who don't even bother to post trades because they'll just sit on the board.
The little open time that was there will be assigned to the reserves. And that forces us to use sick time for our trips that don't get picked up.
All I'm stating is, try and help a fellow pilot out first. Don't worry the company will take care of themselves.

I'll have to look into that, I'm not sure what the Mothership retirement is, I thought it was a matching 401k like we have, but I'll check, I know we get retiree travel benifits the same as mainline.
Just doing research,
Thanks for giving me another point I need to check out.

Pilots Strike at ABX Air: Approximately 75 flights canceled
So... Couldn't we and half the airlines that have been negotiating in perpetuity do this? New hire allowances? Referral bonuses? Etc. If this is indeed a legal strike, ALPA carriers need to invoke it a lot more.
In any event, congratulations and good luck to the ABX pilots.

Employees can contribute up to 100% of their eligible compensation up to the annual 2016 IRS limit:
Traditional pre-tax and Roth post-tax: $18,000
Traditional after-tax:
2016: Up to a combined employee and employer contribution of $53,000
2017: Up to a combined employee and employer contribution of $54,000
Age 50 or older additional catch-up: $6,000
Employer Match
100% on first $1,500, 50% on the next $1,500, 33% on next $7,500, and 10% thereafter
Employee vesting to the company matching funds: 50% after 1 year, 100% after 2 years
Age 50+ 'catch-up' contributions should be matched by the employer at the same rate.
I find it comical that my employee contribution in my final year of work in the corporate world was/is more than my first year pay at Mesa.

Are we buying more planes to replace old ones?
http://finance.yahoo.com/news/delta-...230920598.html
Mesa Air Group Inc Chief Executive Jonathan Ornstein said he will not purchase new planes that do not comply with existing scope clauses as he does not believe the current limits will be changed in the near future.
Instead, the Arizona-based regional carrier will buy more current generation E-175s, along with additional CRJ900s to replace 38 regional jets being phased out over the next four years.
"I don't think there's any chance the pilots will change their weight requirements. Zero," Ornstein said.
