Mesa

Depends on what your definition of "worth it" is and how mobile you are. Chasing upgrades can be a fools errand. The good thing about Mesa is that they just went through a restructuring in chapter 11 and have now positioned themselves well for the 70/76 seat capacity purchase agreements most majors are putting out these days.

First off who the hell doesn't own an iPad already? If someone is really that strapped for one then maybe they should consider another regional? And I could give two ****s of what makes sense to you and what doesn't. You don't work for Mesa either, your a UAL FO which last time I checked doesn't make you god either.

Agreed, in fact most of my friends are non-aviation.

Why the FU** would some one come to mesa right now? Listen, you go where the upgrade is the fastest.. Mesa has people in the system now with global numbers in the 900's. If your global seniority is 700 or above, your going to wait 5 or 6 years for an upgrade. We are not getting any more airplanes after the e175's.
You go to the regional with the fastest upgrade so you can get the hell out of the regionals. That's Silver Airways, and PSA! All the eagle pilots with their 10 year upgrade plans just turned into "never", but hell, they have a good contract...
All the flying that Mesa lost out on went to other companies with higher prices no doubt. Don't think anyone is going to argue that Mesa is not the low baller on contracts... Don't you see? Airplanes are being spread around tactically to ensure the whipsaw never ends! Get your 121 pic time and get the hell out of the regionals asap! Going to a good regional? What? Is there such a thing? NO!

I'm not aware of any regional that issues tablet devices of any kind to their pilots. I know for a fact that Envoy pilots have to supply their own if they want to go digital.
And if it's a choice between supplying my own ipad and wasting hours and hours doing paper revisions--for no pay--I'll supply my own ipad and watch por...er, Netflix...while you're doing your paper revisions.
