I'm defending Mesa because I work here and to counter all of the crazy misinformation on this site. When a class of new hires comes through and I see that they're a group of interesting folks with a wide range if experiences, that's a good thing, and people who are considering Mesa should know about it.
So you're management.
To counter, my friend, hired within the year, had to take a screening sim evaluation, not a training sim, as a condition of employment.
People should know that your pay scale is an embarrassment and by going to Mesa, you are encouraging the company to continue to pay near poverty-level wages to new FOs for well over 2 years. It takes 5 years to get paid what an FO at almost every other airline makes after year 1 or 2.
But hey, as long as you guys are happy with it and not disgruntled. Oh, and by the way, the two least disgruntled pilot groups on this site, by far, are also the two worst paid. It must a correlation between pilots who are willing to accept jobs for less than their value and those who are KoolAid drinking yes-men.
