Places like Mesa have created a bottom feeder mentality so they realize no matter how much they raise pay, people will leave. They’ve probably created a pilot group that has skeletons in the closet and can’t leave to other airlines, like someone on this thread actually admitted, and for the rest they promise big RJs and lots of flying, what low timers want right now. It would be interesting if they vote this in because the rates look horrible, a 175/CRJ900 CA should be starting least 100k during these times. They’d probably want to keep their FOs from jumping ship after 4 months too.
