If you think Mesa is just another airline with just a bunch of pilots who are "late on rent" or "spending entire checks on healthcare"...well...I can't help you. That wholly owned receiving airplanes and non wholly owned that seems stable you're considering? Guess what? Same issues there with guys/girls too. Jump on any legacies J/S and I'll promise you that you'll find the same complaints amongst their crew as well with regard to their companies.
You clearly didn't do your homework prior to joining up at Mesa and that's 100% on you. Does the pay suck? Yup, it's bottom of the barrel. Is the current contract light years behind in language? Couldn't agree more. But, if you need a specific domicile or want to "get in and get out" it's absolutley a place to go. There are tons of guys/girls who used it just for that and the senority list dictates that attrition. They did it right!
If you think going across the street to avoid awful crew trackers/scheduling and crew memebers that don't complain? You're sorely mistaken and you're in for a long ride in this career.
Actually bud, you should do some homework on other airlines. I have many friends/contacts at other airlines from regionals up to legacies and NONE of them have to go through what we do at Mesa. Republic gives us a run for the money....I will admit. But there is a line, however low which Mesa has managed to dive beneath.
You are too drunk on kool-aid to realize any of this. And yes, I probably should have researched Mesa a little further before jumping on the bandwagon. Hence why I hope others won't make the same mistake and be led astray by you and brand spanking new hires like strata-whatever who don't know the first thing about what we are talking about.
