Default Mesa Schedules

I'm aware of the shortcomings that folks have mentioned regarding Mesa, but from a domicile perspective Mesa is ideal for me.

Can folks share sample monthly schedules (preferably PHX or DFW based)? I'm aware of the regional QOL issues but I was hoping for a hard look at what actual schedules look like.

Thanks!!

You will regret coming here.

Are you looking for days on and off, or places you will fly to?

I'm not as interested in the destinations. More the days on / off.

Yikes. The first one is decent. The last two are rough. No way they are commutable.

If you want to be PHX based why not SkyWest? If you want to be DFW based why not Envoy?

I live in PHX but have a place to stay in DFW if I need to spend some time there in reserve.

Is Skywest any better in terms of schedules? I heard it could take awhile to get PHX as your base at SKW.

The 14 months I was with Mesa the commute was fine until February of this year. Feb-May were brutal schedules, and then crew tracking would call and stick you on a trip that totally blew your plans for overnights you were awarded. Mesa is totally unpredictable with being as short staffed as they are. And no matter what you bid, if "it's in your footprint", Mesa will do with you what they will. What a mess.

Im assuming there's a 30 hour layover in there to allow 8 on??

Do you guys use PBS or is it traditional lime bidding and they are building 8 day pairings?
