Well, everyone bashing Mesa on here do not work for Mesa, and are repeating the same old lies.
Mesa has the lowest pay, and worst benefits. These two items are huge issues and are the biggest negatives. Do not listen to an Envoy person about Mesa, they are filled with too much hatred to ever be objective on this subject.
There are positives about Mesa, we have one of the best pilot groups in the business, where everyone is very nice and not out to back stab each other. Our chief pilot in DFW is one of the best you'll ever have in your career, management leaves you alone, and the company is excellent about not pushing you to do something questionable. I am a captain, and every FO I have flown with has had previous turbine experience with exception of a few CFI's. Our phone interview is not the interview, ground school, sim, and IOE is the interview. Mesa will give you the opportunity when others will not. I haven't had any horror stories, just people who are thankful for the opportunity. I am getting sick and tired of the lies on here about Mesa.
