The USAF puts 25 year old kids in F-16's which do Mach 1 and carry bombs

Those 25yr old kids, out classed most everyone in UPT plus more often than not are "cream of the crop", lets face it... The USAF, doesn't assign pilot slots after 15 minute phone conversations either....

How is he putting down anyone? If anything, you put down yourselves when you signed up for mesa's pay rates and work rules (or there lack of).

Troll or not, CBreezy, makes a very valid point - outside of bases, why would someone choose Mesa when other airlines have comparable upgrade times and better pay/work rules?

PSA who undercut American Eagle?

Or TSA with an all 50 seat operation?

Thanks for the LOL.

10-15k a year difference means nothing to someone in "my" financial situation. Others, sure.

I'm literally stating facts. TSA has an equal upgrade and you get paid more with better contracts. Compass and PSA are the same way.

It's not often I agree with Breezy but he is spot on. No excuse to go to the crappy pay and work rules of Mesa. Many better places to be.

Wow! You did not just try to compare the USAF's training program to Mesa's.

What crappy work rules? Like our EFB notification? Oh wait that's skywest. I think my QOL is great at Mesa, minus pay, which doesn't really affect me much and would be almost as bad elsewhere. My trips are good for the most part, I live in base, and I didn't have to commute long. Many better places to be = a thing of the past.
