I’m certainly not cheerleading Mesa but not everyone over there is bad. Hell knowing what I know now I should have gone there lol. I have no issues in my record.

Their maintenance, well I have heard from many people and seen examples myself about how poorly the aircraft are maintained, so that holds up in my mind. Not unsafe, but lots and lots of MEL’s.

I'm not saying everyone over there is bad, either. However, the company has a long history of being the lowest of the low balls and hiring anybody willing to fly for them.

I was riding on a crew van with a Mesa crew once, and the FO was telling the story of how he failed training at Envoy, failed training at another regional, and finally made it through training at Mesa.

As far as the retired AF colonel in the left seat at Mesa... really have to wonder why someone with that resume would not get snapped up by the majors. Perhaps he bombed his HR interview, which has been known to happen. At least he has a nice pension to supplement his regional pilot salary.

Very true!! Something like that is harder to recover from later in life than earlier in a career.

Mesa isn’t AQP, or at least it wasn’t last time I checked. It is harder to get through their training than it is ours, especially on the 175.

Another thing is Health Insurance I've a family of 3 how much will be cut for my paycheck?
Your paycheck during training will be pretty decent, but once you are done and the per diem falls off - you will see a drastic reduction.

The medical will probably set you back about $300-$400 a month depending on what option you pick.
