I had heard from a mx controller we might only get 3 or 4 of them (old piedmont birds). The other 2 are original Mesa and I guess never had APUs. The APUs for the old HA tails will need to be reinstalled. This is just what I heard, don't know of any truth to it. I duno when they expect we might have em on property.

Just got off the phone with a friend who interviewed recently. Here are some of the things BT is telling interviewees in his welcome talk:
-The Mesa Dashes (all 6) are a sure thing (3 in Jan, 3 in Feb). This was given as the reason for the current batch of hiring
-The Training and MX departments are/have been (tense unclear in my friend's memory) going through Q400 training
-Although upgrades are slow at the moment, things are about to start moving really quickly
-30-40% of all Mainline new-hire classes are intended/reserved for pilots from the wholly-owns!

When I interviewed back in August, I was told all six 200's from mesa are coming but no dates.
As for the rest, I was told none of the other stuff above. Bob knew that I have several friends with PDT already and pretty well knew what I was getin in to, Perhaps this is the reason I was not fed the fairy tales that the above recieved.
Sure would be nice if it were true though.
