Probably me, as well (though I haven't been in my 20s in nearly 20 years).
I'd say that's a matter of opinion.

I remember when I was new. I LOVED flying with those Captains that were never new and never had to learn while on the job. Oh, and now you say pilots are cocky and over confident you say?

Can anyone tell me when a new hire's benefits kick in?
I have a Jan 21 class date and the wife and I have to make some decisions about insurance at her job.

It's the worst. And unlike lots of other regionals, Mesa's pilots are on the same plans as the other employee groups, so essentially we're subsidizing "less healthy" employee groups by paying for such crappy, horrible coverage. (pilots are mostly male and mostly relatively healthy, so pretty cheap to insure compared to almost every other employee group).
Ughhhhhhh wish I had gone with Obamacare--with the subsidy I would've gotten (FO pay qualifies), it would've been the same cost for wayyyyyyy better coverage.

With Mesa insurance--even the most expensive plans--you're capped at 12 Rx fills per year. That's for ALL medications--i.e. if someone has a medication they need refilled on a monthly basis, that is the ONLY medication the insurance will pay for (12 fills TOTAL per plan year).

I feel bad for the guys that came here thinking they'll catch the fast upgrade wave when I think about our pitiful health insurance.
Mesa has the worst health insurance of any airline--if you're relatively healthy, you'd prob be better off just paying the Obamacare tax and paying for everything out of pocket.
It's too bad AllATPs grads keep coming here thinking they're gonna be E175 CAs in a year (more like 3-5 years). If they went to better places, maybe the company would have an incentive to give us health insurance better than the unemployed homeless are provided by our tax dollars.
