All of us will shrug and say, "makes sense". Mesa pilots will pretend victory is theirs. And they'll be in the guppy cargo circus as a background player never making it big.
No Mesa guys look at their paycheck and think wow! 300% . They take home fattest paychecks of the regionals. But you keep looking at the smaller picture thr hrly #.

Lol I met one guy who got some $70k pickup and justified it by the 300%.

Pilot retention? Hasn't J.O. Always operated on the basis he wants you out after five years, to keep the quick upgrade a selling point?

At this point I think it’s a negative for the customers.

Since when did the customer ever matter? When some outstations have a single deicing truck that works for five or six departures, when retirees and instructors in the pipeline program have a higher boarding priority on AA, than you do who is going to work a flight later that day for AA? When does the customer matter when you have a 40 min connection by design in CLT and you historically run late 40% of the time, and have to run from the B or C terminals to E? Perhaps the customer matters more at United, but not at AA!

That’s true.

Some of us do look at it as the “smaller picture”.

That’s because we are just here to get our time and get out. That is the “big picture”.

Year 2 FO at C5 is currently making $54 an hour. The CA rates are about the same except C5 only has 50 seat jets. I would say that puts Mesa at the bottom.
