So do you think Scope is going away? I haven’t seen anything indicating that. Please share if you have.

Over 1300 hours were dropped in March by United. I don’t know if that is commonplace or a bad sign. Hence, the question.
Thats up to the United pilots. Kirby seems to be confident he can get it idk why.

It isn’t a bad sign unless we cannot get our Ejet training figured out before the Ejets are up for renewal. As MAGPBS points out, it takes a lot to have a contract cancelled and he doesn’t think we were even close. However, a renewal of a contract is a different thing and United is free to shop around for a better partner.

I really don’t know when the date is for renewing the Ejets. The CRJ’s come up next year.

I believe the reduced flying is both a positive and a negative. It shows United management is willing to work with Mesa management to determine the right level of flying for the jets and pilots we have. The negative is we are short of pilots on the line. I also don’t think we would open Atlanta if Mesa knew the contract was ending.

Speaking of training . . . I've tried to contact your recruiting department as a follow up on a hired letter, and cant get anyone to return a call or email. Anyone know what's going on? Is it that you are so backlogged on training everyone gets to go back on the line and fly?

If you are calling a specific person, it is possible they are doing something else if the are a pilot. Just call the Mesa general number and ask for pilot recruiting. There is always someone recruiting pilots.

There are two from 3/2017 on the CRJ, others on that side are one from 12/2016 and a few from 3/2016. The Ejet side is 3/2016. At least from what I can see. I might not be looking in the best place.

Quick question . . . I'm debating a few things here, but wanted to see how much a typical FO would bring home a month, or at least typical hours flown a month. I know a lot of it depends on how you bid . . . but just looking at "typical" numbers . .no bonus included... Year 1 and year 2.
How about a CA same sort of thing? Current job is $50K a year, but working 18 days a month (many days max duty/flight) CA's start $78K again, max duty/flight for 117.
I dont mind working hard, but sometimes wouldnt mind an "easy" month.
