So how long until Mesa gets their own subforum on the Cargo page?

I would say these 737’s are archaic, but Last I heard Mesa still doesn’t have D-Atis or PDC. So I guess it’ll be business as usual.

Wait so this is real? Does Mesa have a payscale for an aircraft that large?

Well, not a Mesa pilot but a K4 and former ASA.
K4 new hires generally fall into two groups. Those who for one reason or another view it as their final stop; and those who want to move on. The latter group, as a whole, lacks the "desperation" to move on that you find at a regional and normally hold out for either a legacy, SWA, Brown or Purple. K4 is generally viewed by this group as a place to get the experience that can help in a move to something "better", but an airline where you can finish a career if things don't pan out.
In my short time here I have seen quite a number of this group move on, even some with "skeletons", so getting the wide-body and international experience at K4 while making good money definitely seems to help. But by the time one makes captain the pay is quite good and very few captains leave.
Probably the only thing lacking at K4 is the retirement, and that may well change with the next contract.

Few problems. Pay won’t be great. And Cargo (apart from international) don't block as many hours.. Then add in no flight benefits, doubtful Mesa will pony up for home basing.. and the same Mesa health care. May not be worth it if your goal is a Major.. And I'm sure it will only be a handful of aircraft. 10~20 ish... will see..

If I had to guess, the rates would be around $115-$120hr for CA's and probably $60hr for FO's. The lowest paid 737 operator in the world is my guess..
