Then just quit? If it’s really that bad the quit, take the unemployment, and search for a new gig.

Ive been around this business since 1997...trust me it could always be worse. This is a piece of cake...and it’s temporary. Things will bounce back soon.

Try 1 year and about 7 months now. I’m just thankful to live in base and have a job at the moment.

1. You don’t get unemployment if you quit.
2. That’s the plan once I’ve got the job lined up.

What’s worse than commuting to a short call reserve in the regionals? As far as the airlines are concerned. I’m honestly curious. If you’re saying the pay, yeah, I wouldn’t have showed up for the pay they used to have. $50k a year is my minimum to get out of bed.

If that’s what you want then surely you could have taken a 6 month LOA.

You guys just need to get your resume together and pull the trigger. If you have a clean PRIA and a 4 year degree it isn’t hard to find work that pays more than Mesa. Might even find yourself doubling Mesa salary 😜

put in 2 weeks notice once you have a job lined up. $36-$37 an hr isn’t the place to be after 12 months. 500 turbojet hours and you can get higher paying work. DM me and I’ll help


P.s. your sim hrs at initial and recurrent count towards your total time

My availability is listed as immediate on my resume. Not giving two weeks if I get requested to start in a week. Being that I’m reserve I don’t think it matters much. It’s the holidays and I just seriously started looking. Not expecting much until January.
