So pilots trying to gain experience they need for a legacy go with hopes of quick advancement, only to realize why the turnover is so high.
It's similar to low tier convenience store vs working at a Costco. Both will pay you but Costco offers 401k, dental etc.
Quick question about the second paragraph. Are you saying Mesa is a good place for pilots looking for a quick upgrade and progression onto a legacy? I mean anyone going to Mesa should not be lifers right? They should go in with the intention of upgrading fast and going to bigger better things fast. I think the company fully supports that idea of people getting in and out.
Disclaimer: I realize the company doesn't treat pilots well and pay isn't great.
