THEN, I would look at the landscape amongst the Regional partners and ask, “who is best for our business?”Mesa performs extremely well amongst our Regionals, AND they cost the least. Revenues minus expenses equals profits. Mesa equals profits.
Mesa needs to keep flying.

So funny how being polite and protecting my “home” makes me a recruiter😂 this is your job, this is your company, take pride in it and if you don’t like it then leave, I’m sure, I am 100000% sure it ain’t greener on the other side and you’ll be just as upset and outraged as you are here cause you don’t look at the little things and appreciate them. And this goes for all you guys raging on this forum, not just you Cessna182 guy

Getting less than 1/20th of what another professional aviator gets goes well beyond the typical regional vs. mainline comparison. Anyone who supports it deserves what they get, except they’re dragging down the Mesa people trying to better the company and the industry at large.

That’s exactly right. Delta 2-year 737 FO at $141 an hour, 55 hours a month, earns $7,755. A 2-year Mesa FO, at $38 an hour and 10 hours a month, earns $380. That’s just a 2041% difference, no biggy.

watch closely your MEC Chair.
only one MEC Chairman of yours had the balls to tell your management go pound sand and the last person turn the lights off when they asked last time for pay cuts
only one to my knowledge

There was no airline industry during the Bubonic Plague which was the exact same event as the Black Plague. That took place in the 1300’s, and powered flight had only been around for 15 years when the Spanish Flue Pandemic occurred.
