Mesa treated its pilots bad in the past. Ask any current employee and they will tell you it is better now. The only people who hate on Mesa are people who used to work here or never worked here. I like it here. My friends like it here. Get treated well and quick movement. Pay isn't the best but a few bucks an hour, especially with a quick upgrade, makes pay a wash. I will make more in my first 5 years than FaceBiter did at SKW in his first 5 years. He will probably pipe in and spew some more hate soon. He either didn't work here or got fired from here...he never really is clear about it. Either way, live in base. In IAH the ejet operation is a pretty good gig. Mostly good trips, and good movement as most of the FOs are prior 121 and will be upgrading in the next 6-12 months.
