I make more money here than RAH.
We have GREAT people in the training dept. We have two GREAT Chief Pilots.
I have only been here a year and I hold an 85 hour, 15 day off line.
I am looking at a fall upgrade.
So first year pay is two dollars less than you Skywest folks?
The difference is, if you get in now at Mesa, you will never see 3rd year FO pay, heck you may never see 2nd year FO pay.
Good grief.
Oh yes you will. When JO overpromises and underdelivers again, he'll lose these contracts just as fast as he got them, then when you get downgraded you'll be on FO pay which is horrible. I make more at TSA on a 145 for year 2 than 4 year FOs at Mesa make flying the 170.
If you can't live on the FO pay at any company don't go there because when the worm turns and downgrades begin you're stuck.
