It's mediocre money from a mediocre company. Like most I'm trying to get out before the rest of the rats are swimming in the water with me. For me it's about 20% more than I'm getting now. I was a no but I don't want 1000 pilots applying for the bottom of the list at the other regionals.
Imho
That could be. UAL also doesn't want all their eggs in the SW basket or SW would already be in IAH. SW is the only regional with surplus Ejet pilots other than the wholly owned regionals. You could be at SW where a first year Ejet FO is lucky to get 400 hours. At least, we build our time toward our next job.
Mesa needs to add 200 net pilots and the bonuses will just get larger to attract pilots if this doesn't pass.
