How long before LGA, ACY and SJU will elect their capt and fo reps? Anyone know the ALPA timeline once a base is opened?
Not for a while, ACY and LGA are to small for status Reps and SJU is not quite big enough. It will be up to ALPA and the MEC.
Its funny to see when you get some hot shot riddle guy who ends up at mesa!! you guys spend that much $ to get "the best education" out there and then many of you end up at mesa???? I guess they don't teach common sense there!

Beetle007, nice spin...but Mesa's 50 seat CA rate is the lowest of all the airlines you list above.
I don't understand why everyone acts like flying at Spirit is more difficult than flying at a regional.
In todays industry you flight instructor for 6 -12 months then go fly a jet. These Riddle flight instructors are following the same career path as their peers. They have flight instructed for a while and are now going to fly a jet.
Does anyone honestly think these flight instructors would be more safe in a RJ vs. an Airbus?
I disagree with everything you said. Under your rationale why would we every need to flight instruct with my 200 hrs from a 141 school I have all the information I need to fly a 747 right! Wrong. It takes time to understand and gain the skills necessary to handle not only the daily operations but handle an emergency situation. To say these new kids who have only maybe flown a Seneca 50 hr or if we are luck flown an RJ sim are going to be able to handle everyday situations online without assistance from their captain is absolutly crazy. I would help any new pilot learn to fly the airplane to a specific point, but I am not going to help fill the gaps in that person aviation career. They need more experiance period.

I only expressed two opinions, which one do you disagree with? I don't see how either of them are that offensive
-Do you disagree with my opinion that flying an Airbus is not more difficult than flying a Regional Jet?
or
-Do you disagree with my opinion that Regionals have been hiring low time pilots without problems?
