I'm not here being a Mesa cheerleader, but the above is skewed. Mesa has a 6 month upgrade on the CRJ if you have prior 121, a 16-20 month upgrade if you come with zero 121 or want to hold out for the 175. Yes, when aircraft stop being delivered, (2017) that will change and I'm sure this company will be forced into a new contract to attract new hires with the quick upgrade carrot gone. However as of late we have had a high attrition rate on the Captain side.... My point being, no one here is still on FO pay at year 3, unless they can't cut it for upgrade.

We are about to do a 1 for 2 trade on our oldest 900s, and our 18 new 175s is about to turn into 30, or so we've been told.

Once again, just to clarify, I do not want people coming to work here. We need a new contract, yesterday. Just have to stick up for this place when I see misleading pay info, as most 2nd year pilots are on 2nd year CA pay.

Also Mesa is giving a new hire bonus of around $2500.
