Mesa Badge!

Noticed that the Mesa badge has ‘American Eagle’ and ‘United Express’ printed on it. Kind of sums up the problem with outsourcing.

Do you even know how the regional situation works? Are you prior military?

Yes to both! And I was a regional pilot. Do you have a point to make?

It’s there to make sure they have priority for the jumpseat on any regional flight being operated on behalf of AA or UAL no matter their base over mainline pilots...I kid...sort of....

You do realize if your blog id is the N number of your airplane readers can easily find out who you are.

Privacy and anonymity are important.

How do regionals prioritize which flights to cancel first when operating for multiple "partners?" The mainline carrier that pays the least! Cheaper is not better. Regionals need to be regional. Anything over 1000 miles needs to be on something with mainline staff above/below the wing. There are Airbus/boeing products from 100-220 seats with common type ratings. Sell the seats and fill them up. Southwest has been extremely successful doing it. Simplify, invest in a respectable product, and grow.
