All I’m saying is that in 2018 when I was looking at the regionals mesa had the quickest upgrade of all of them. When you did the math over a wholly owned or other regional with better pay you lost out on a lot of money on the back end because you would spend a year or more at those regionals and only make about 30k more.
In the long run you’re losing out on a lot of money, from 401k contributions to an entire year or more of captain pay on the back end of your earning.
Getting your time and getting out of the regionals should be everyone’s goal. My opinion. There are reasons to go to every regional and reasons not to. Each person has to figure out their priority and make their own decisions. I just laugh at the people who say there was no good reason to go to mesa. That wasn’t true at the time.
