mack, i work at mesa. i say again, i work at mesa.

now that i got that out of my system.

apply everywhere(including mesa) even if you dont think you meet the req's. you never know what staffing needs will be at any given time. as far as mesa goes...

workrules, we have none. we fly the far's and that is it. even then it is pushed to the limit. no cancel pay(weather, re-crew, etc.), ready reserve is either 8,10,12 hour shifts(this totally blows), 70 min pay per 28 day bid(13 per year), 8 min days off for reserve, 10 min for line holders(this also blows), 1 1/2 hour call out on reserve

lifestyle, frugal. first year pay is currently $21.88 jet and around $18.00 prop
jet bases include PHX, BNA, ORD, IAD, CLT and MCO
props....hell i can't keep track of them all
if you get the jet(crj or erj) life is better if you get the beech life is worse
either way you must be careful with your money

upgrades are currently under two years on the jet and even quicker on the props. i consider mesa another stop in my career, nothing more or less. there are worse things i could be doing. our contract expires march 07' and we'll see if the pilot group has the balls this time to make a stand.

good luck.
