Freedom already getting integrated.
The company just opened the 700's for pilots in Mesa's seniority list (including CCAir) to bid. 28 positions are available and the class date is 5 Feb. All these pilots will be flying "Freedom" aircraft but will be current members of Mesa Air Group, not non-union. The first agreements of this TA are moving fast.
I still have no idea whether or for how long the current Freedom guys will be flying the 700's. Also, no mention yet about putting other Mesa pilots into the right seat. I'm guessing that they only have so many class slots to go around right now and they are taking care of the Captain positions first.
Since all these positions are in PHX, I'm guessing that these positions will be going pretty senior on Mesa's list. PHX seems to be where a large number of Mesa pilots want to be.
