Mesa needs no bad mouthing or trolling. Simply stating facts is enough to stir everyone up. The truth hurts.

I've been here about 1.5 years now and I'm in my base of choice, holding a line with weekends off and staring an upgrade in the face. Yea, trolls don't need to do it justice, it's just bad for everyone here.

Not true. Just the disgruntleds who hate their jobs. Mesa just "is what it is" for the rest of us.

I feel the same way. Yet for some odd reason a few pilots at other regionals are worried about us and feel the need to frequently voice their concerns in this thread. But that's pilots just being pilots for you...always worried about the food on everyone else's plate.

I was using sarcasm, of course I don't have a problem with Mesa, it's worked out great for me so far.

Couple things here, I bid reserve because I live in base. (I can hold a good line with weekends off but I rather not fly and make my 75 hour guarantee. I've flown a total of 13 hours this month.)
I never have to do Ready as I bid CML and I'm the most senior guy.
Also where are people award RS4? I have never seen that awarded or offered in the ORD or IAD bases.

Sorry, I mean't RS4 goes Senior, not Junior. They have RS4 in CLT, and I think PHX. It varies from 1-4 guys in CLT on RS4. Lately just one. Also, in the Airways system they always have guys sitting ready reserve on the RS1 and RS3 shifts. Almost never do you get to sit at home. I heard it is rare to sit Ready in IAD in the United system. Lucky ducks... Probably a contract thing that Airways has requiring this...just a guess.
So they tend to keep a heavy RR rotation going. They want people to be utilized as much as possible. But sometimes it bites them in the butt because your FDP starts once your at the airport.
