You don’t have to justify being at Mesa, this guy is a troll.

Leadership and pay is what it is (our leadership just may be exactly what we need through this downturn Btw) but that’s just one factor in choosing where to go. Anyway, people love to hate Mesa and that’s one more thing I like about being here.

So most of the hotels we stay at other regionals stay at as well...., Poverty I mean come on the pay is lower, but hey maybe that's why we are getting business when others are not. I'll take few dollars less and have job vs high paying job and every time there is a snafu worry about whether my awesome contract is going to price me out of the market. Now healthcare you got me it sucks here, but it's not that much better other places but it is better. The people I know that hated this place has issues anyway, so good riddance to them. I'm thankful that Im not worried about Oct 1 like some of my friends at other regionals. Mesa is not that bad. I guess for some people a big paycheck is what makes a company. I have a higher standard. Ok wages and the fact that I love going to work, works for me

People hate it because they always need something to hate. Yes, the pay is below standard. Really doesn’t matter if you fly your ass off and get out quick. I watched a famous YouTuber mention she got 340-350 hours in a year. I logged 400 in 7 months at mesa. Crash pad roomie at Envoy had 185 hrs in 7 months. Sure you can flow, but 7 years..... idk, don’t plan on waiting to make 80k 7 years... maybe down the road. How’s that “flow” working for those guys right now?

not the worst place if you get in and get out quick

i was referring to people outside the company “love to hate” us. As far as people that work here hating it, I mean, that’s sort of their own problem? No sympathy there.

The pay rates are between JO and the Union. With Mesa’s scope clause, JO’s hands are tied as far as alter ego or subbing out the work. Hopefully the Union can negotiate well and get a decent pay rate and work rules. Good luck to the Mesa Pilots, I for one wish you well.

Wait. RJ carriers have scope clauses? That’s kinda funny right there.

yeah, we do. Keeps the company, or any company that buys Mesa from running multiple seniority lists they have to be merged together, aka freedom. Or how Skypest held Expressjet, that wouldn’t be able to happen here.

How's that "off the street hiring" working for you right now?
