Mesa - base/aircraft transfers?

[BlackPilot628]

Those Mesa trips are not CDO's. www.ebay.com sells some nice Tents.
I use to do a CDO at Corpex all the time. Example

20:52 (STL local) for a 21:52 departure to UIN. You land at 22:40.
Show the next morning at 0500. Fly to back to STL then you're done.
Sometimes would do a EVV turn. But, you were still off by noon.

we do CDOs at AE, however, I believe they are limited to one leg out and one leg back...not a bad deal if you just want to fly the min hours for the month or to pick up on your last two days of reserve and get released early in the AM on your last day. no camping trips for us...we are "on duty" at XXX hotel.

I would bid them if we had them on the E170. I'm pretty sure there are some on the E145/E135. Great if you live in or near your base.

Mesa has normal standups (in a hotel) just like everyone else. These "camping" trips are different and are caused by the crazy night flying done out of LAS. I mean, does anyone else's airline have scheduled flights that are SCHEDULED to arrive at 3 or 4 am? The "camping" trips only happen in the PHX system because of the late night LAS flying. -Bean

We don't have any that get in that late.
The major's other larger jet carriers do Redeye flights from the west coast, but they're done when they get back to the east coast or midwest. I think Jetlink does a redeye flight from Bakersfield and I'm sure they're done when they arrive in IAH.
