When I flew at Mesa under U.S. Airways, we were treated well with jumpseat priority, buddy passes, 20$ upgrades to first class. As soon as AA took over, we lost all of that. Not only that, but AA retirees have priority on non rev, and even flight instructors in their pipeline have priority over you, the pilot flying under their umbrella. It was a huge slap in the face.
Besides that, look at the TWA pilots and the hell they were subjected to. I will never buy a ticket on AA, and I will never work for them.

The reality is that it is the larger pilot groups demands that dictate what management does. Let that be a warning to you when ever you hear talk about mergers.

But I will say mainline AA pilots have always treated me well when I do get the seat, they make the walk up top more than other pilot groups and several captains have given me their meals.

Dont di Mesa
I just resigned from Mesa after a month and a half. They dont care about you there. They just hired a paraplegic and my sim partner couldn't read words like Ambient. Mesa is a circus. Unless you like being a clown, I would shoot for Republic

Republic is the place to be
Republic is now flying old Mesa routes with Republic aircraft and Republic pilots, but with Mesa Flight Attendants. If you're a FA, you're good. If not, I would reconsider Mesa. I would be more than happy to send you copies of emails where Mesa not only screwed me on training but stuck me with $250 hotel bills
