Going through training here now and don’t have any real complaints. Nice people in HR and the training department. The pay is really nice and you’ll fly here (close to 90 hours a month) which ultimately gets you to wherever you’re end goal airline is. Some may say this is still the “honeymoon” stage but I have no complaints here and would definitely recommend Mesa if the bases work for you.
hope all is well. Any advice for the new hires that’s starting in the next couple of months? |
Is it though?

Thats wildly inaccurate. The mesa insurance and rates are identical to psa and better tha sun country. Less expensive.

Study mostly the systems and limitations they sent you for whatever aircraft you’ll be on especially if this is your first jet/type rating. Don’t stress to much or look to far down the road of your training footprint otherwise you may feel overwhelmed. Prepare to be out here about 2 months with 5 days on/2 off.. If you have any specific or additional questions don’t hesitate to reach out.

Are you doing CRJ? If so, do you know how long to expect to be there for ERJ? Meaning are they still behind? Sending everyone home after the first 4-5 weeks?

Mesa is significantly more money. 401Ks are within a percentage point or two. Don’t discount the 10.00/hr. That’s 760 a month more minimum and easily much more. You will probably credit 85-95 a month so that’s 850-950 a month more. Nearly 10,000 a year.
A 737 type rating is obtainable at Mesa and the 73 is no longer senior. Aviate is no joke. And the dirty secret....flying the 737 absolutely stinks. The e-jet is much better and pays the same. |
Can anyone share what the different medical plans for Mesa are? Surely there is a cheap HDHP w/ HSA or something? I'd just be looking for a disaster plan... I'll pay Dr. visits etc. out of pocket.

Oh the little Mesa recruiter bltch “pangolin” forgot to mention that? Oops!
Don’t worry though, the extra $760 minimum straight cash number Boy Wonder pulled directly out of his ass will make up for it. Post the rates of the premium plan at other airlines equivalent to the premium ppo. Then we can have a rational conversation. And I’m not a recruiter bltch. |
