Lots of upgrades happening. (Most junior CRJ CA is a 2013 hire) Tons of hiring to finish staffing the 10 more CRJ900s that came online this summer and fall. Hiring for E175s that continue to arrive into 2016. E175 CA upgrades should touch 2013 hires next award (December upgrade classes)

This is not the Mesa of 2010 or 2008 for that matter.

Great training department, good CPs who are here to help.

CNX pay... block or better...

DFW- CRJ9 AA
PHX- CRJ9 AA
IAD- CRJ7 UA
IAH- E175 UA

IPAD EFB. (big deal if you're coming from an airline with paper charts, makes life much easier)

Longest contract extensions with mainline partners of all the regionals. 2019 for UA and 2021 for AA. (May have those reversed) No 50 seaters left, they were all shed during bankruptcy. Fleet of on demand 70-79 seat aircraft.

Lots of guys out there who were furloughed or quit Mesa 07-11 out there. From what I've heard this place SUCKED back then. They're the ones still spewing the hate.

I don't blame them, I'll probably be spewing hate about RAH well into the 2030's.......
This post makes me feel a WHOLE lot better about the decision I have made.
I worked at Mesa from 2000-2008. I was a Captain on the CRJ in IAD when I got fed up and left.( Bad Decision using 20/20 hindsight.) I start back at Mesa on October 30 on the CRJ- and I'm excited about being back in the 121 game.
Sounds like I may be going back to Dulles for a while but hoping for either Dallas or Phoenix- being a West Coaster. Seeing as how I might be in Dulles, I'm glad I treated all my F/O's well!! LOL.
Any idea from a CURRENT Mesa pilot on how long to a possible Upgrade opportunity???
Thanks..
