I wonder how many San Juaners with 300 hrs are willing to fly a 737 for $20/hr with 6th year FO making $30/hr.
not as many furloughed mainline pilots

~~~^~~~ said:737's can be bought for 3 million. That is their cost advantage over a 21 million dollar RJ. With so many 737's hitting the market from Southwest and US Air I imagine lease rates are very, very, low.
Just like Airtran's first bunch of DC-9's from Delta.
Clearly, the payscale of the pilots has something to do with this.One airline found that shifting from almost paid-off DC-9s to B-717s provided an 8% to 9% net reduction in costs.

Its funny, but for some reason everytime I have flown on a COEX or eagle RJ I have had a real nice flight, but when I am forced to fly on a mesa RJ I often wonder where the F*@& do they get these guys

Look at the ROA incident, a mesa crew landed so hard they bent the airplane and left a 3' X 10' scrap on the bottom of the airplane from there landing. Then to top it off they let the plane fly out the next morning with unreported damage on it. You guys are a bunch of inexperienced blind idiots flying around in a RJ thinking your doing this industry a favor, and you all want to help it more by flying 737's. Stop sucking JO's D^$k and grab your balls and stand up for something in your life and prove the rest of the industrywrong and show them your not all a bunch of pansies.
