If you have a line at Mesa, you show up and work, then go home, talking to nobody at the company but your crew along the way. And operationally, Mesa seems to bump along in much the same way as every other regional. So, is it pay related then? Yeah, that sucks, but you can quit. Or are you one of those reserves who gets furious when they get called at weird times to do their job? That sucks too, however, it's also an attitude thing, and not necessarily Mesa related. It would be much the same at any other regional. The reality is that being on reserve at regional is a hard, kind of crappy job, especially if you commute. You should probably quit immediately if you feel that way. Life's too short. XOJet and EJM are hiring. Do that. You'll make $50k, stay in nice hotels and fly cool jets. I fly with way too many very reasonable, experienced people who tell me that Mesa isn't so bad (aside from pay) to believe posts like this.

Things that really blow here:

- hotels
- pay

Most of the rest is just the atrocity that is the regional airline industry.
