Yes, terrible pay. Near the bottom of the industry, eh? Most are getting better, some aren't. Envoy pays $3 an hour more. XJet about $1 per hour more. AWAC $5 more. PSA $2 more. Not quite the landslide you claim, from my POV. I agree that pay increasing is good for all. But from what I read on here, reserves at some of these will be 1-2 years. Money is not the driving force behind everything, not the motivating factor for all. Some people want/need hours more than money.

You will be compensated much better at any other place (some are paying almost 2X what Mesa is paying).
Most of us do this for a living. Mesa paying what it does is hurting all of our ability to negotiate.
