I guess answering the phone and accepting a class date after 15 minutes of discussion is good enough to be considered AVERAGE when compared to the rest of the industry.

There are valid reasons for wanting to fly the Ejet for Mesa. First, a pilot might live in the Houston area. Second, a pilot may want to build Ejet time quickly to progress their career. Either of these are valid reasons to sign with Mesa on the Ejet. With either of these reasons, you may not care about the pay as much - except $36 is better than $22.

Yeah but then you might actually have to buy a suit, study some gouges, answer real questions in front of an interview panel, and prove you're a professional and competent pilot worthy of a position.

Flying an E-Jet does absolutely zero for your career, over a CRJ 7/9, and in fact, is a detriment to your piloting skills, at least in the eyes of where I work. Some places still respect stick and rudder. The CRJ is a pilots aircraft, I miss flying it. What I fly now is an amazing airplane, but also a huge detriment to ones stick and rudder skills. You can turn off the automation, and I do hand fly it, but I also only spend maybe 1/4 to 1/8 as much time actually flying. This is why a very strong emphasis of stick and rudder skills is placed on new people, to have that foundation before coming to where I work now.
Why is someone who isn't at Mesa on our forum about our contract?

It seems like yesterday I was at Mesa. I'm not telling you how to vote, but the rest of the industry has a vested interest in what you guys do. It's very eye opening being on the outside now, having experienced an alternate reality. Many of my friends are still at Mesa, so I still care. Believe it or not, the real question everyone asks about you guys is not if you're going to vote yes or no, but rather, "why are you still there?"
Thats what the people on the outside talk about.
I'm not questioning that, I understand everyone has different life circumstances , and it's none of anyone else's business.
This is why people may find it too hard to not be on your forum.

I have no clue why you are here and not letting your friends still at Mesa speak for themselves. Just get off our forum and let us vote.

Unless they have the desire to be a lifer at Mesa. In that case, they should want a better TA.

No major carrier cares what you fly when they hire you. It is hours in seat and who you know.
Most IAH Mesa pilots don't care about the EJet either, but it is UAL that cares about the EJet. If you live in a UAL base, you better want to fly the EJet. It doesn't matter if it is ORD, IAH, or SFO.
My bet is the EJet comes to IAD for Mesa. You want to live In a UAL base, you better fly the EJet.

Yeah, because these non-Mesa pilots pretend like they are a Mesa pilot on our forum, telling us how to vote. Y'all are as bad as the Russians.
