If Mesa doesn’t count as a regional then I don’t know what does. How long were you at via? Long enough to truly know them?

Yep, long enough to get schedules changed regularly, asked to extend, broken airplanes, tons of lost flying.... but it’s all salary so it doesn’t really matter.

You probably left just before things started improving. Pay went up, the planes are pretty much as dependable as at other regionals now. The problem children in management are gone.

Did Mesa give you crew meals?
Did Mesa give you crew cars?
Did Mesa let you keep hotel points
Did Mesa let you keep air miles?
Did Mesa positive space you to/from work?
Did Mesa always provide a hotel while on short call RAP so a Crashpad was never needed?

Dude, there are definitely worse regionals to work at.

If you’re close to their published mins time wise they probably will. They had guys from their own 135 side to 121 side left seat to left seat. If you have 1,000 135 PIC I think your good under the 121 upgrade requirements. You can have 1,000 121 SIC also.

No worries, it was an excuse to call and chat with a friend I haven’t seen in a while. I liked working there.
