Like I said, I wouldn't commute to Mesa if I were tied down and living in a SKW base. But if you're concerned future contacts and growth then I would take a closer look at Mesa and consider a possible move.

It's not all sunshine and butterflies here but it's not nearly as bad as APC wants you to believe. Mesa is poised for growth and the current movement here is unreal. I was hired last spring and am halfway up the FO list at our most senior CRJ base (PHX). Remember, the latest batch of 7 new CRJs announced had options for an additional undisclosed amount. If you get in now you won't be a regional FO for the better part of the decade, which is nice considering FO pay here sucks balls.

The guys and gals I know at SKW love it there, but they will most likely be there for awhile. They seem to be content and have a good bit of loyalty towards their company, and from what I understand there are a ton of mid seniority lifers around. You won't find that here at Mesa. I'd say most of us hired in the last two years won't be around for a day longer than we have to be. Anyway, you have to do what's best for you and your family.

I think that the music in the recruitment vids ought to be blasted through the cabin on every take off roll!

Don't buy the 7-8yr time to upgrade line at SKW. It's rapidly going to hit 3-4yr mark.

Also, don't see the 50seat being a problem in the near term, especially with current oil prices.

FYI, fast upgrade times need FOs to take your place... Don't get stuck somewhere you hate when the music stops 😞🔫

Gee, nothing like refuting your own logic...

Skywest = 3000+ pilots = FO hired now needs 1400 hired below to upgrade.

Mesa = 900 pilots = FO hired now needs 450 hired below

Compass = 600 pilots = 300 hired below...


Argument invalidated.

How dare you! Logic and factual data have no place in an Internet forum.

For a guy who's a grammar Nazi you'd think you'd proofread. Nice job ChEIf......

And I fixed "kool-aid" for ya too! Seems you're the one in need of a lesson in both life and English.

Is there anyone who ever quit Skywest to go to Mesa? I can tell you there are plenty of ex Mesa guys over here.

MatchPoint

Impossible, you're the kind of forum troll who stays up late at night glued to his computer in his tightly whites while trying to prove to others he's someone when it's obvious he's no one. You don't contribute to anything, instead you hold progress hostage. But don’t worry, everyone can tell you have no life. Go ahead and have the last word, that’s what those with your issues can’t refrain from doing.



I truly hope you don't end up flying for my airline one day. Good night.

I don't know about SKW but my class had guys from PSA, TSA, and Envoy.

I can tell you as well there are probably all of about zero peeps from Mesa that like to read through and post on the SKW forum because well... we just don't give a ****.

ScottyDo

.... well you did get the last word, lol.
