Thanks - good thoughts and advice and it's appreciated.
I'm looking around, weighing my options.. G7 being one of them, but 9E certainly attractive, too.
Will post in that threat w/ questions regarding them.
Thx again

I personally know 1 ex mesa that went as a DEC at G7. He's been there for about 4 years I believe and is just starting to hold a line.
At G7 you will most likely be on reserve for a very long while if you come in as a street captain. Most or at least half of your flying will be in the right seat and IMO it really is only worth it if you absolutely NEED to leave Mesa and come to G7 and live in base and don't mind the reserve rules.
Regardless of longevity pay, I would stick it out at Mesa or look towards Endeavor. Endeavor not only just changed their pay-scale drastically they are ALSO starting to hire direct entry captains and/or at least award upgrade to FO's who have the required hours to upgrade.
If not, Envoy and PSA will upgrade you as soon as you finish training and you can have the flow in your back pocket.
SkyWest offers longevity pay as well and they're much more stable.
The list continues...
Why come to GoJet when others are offering so much more?
