Default RP to Mesa

Thinking about going to mesa class mid March. Heres my problem: Stuck on a dying plane with RP and stuck on reserve for at least the next year commuting across the country. Live in PHX and would love to be based at home... Been with RP for about 1.5 years

What to do. What to do? Stick with Republic and wait out the switch to the 170 or go to Mesa... Take the first year hit and all that comes with a restarting a career essentially for a home base.

Positives to Mesa vs. Republic(Shuttle America)??

Also, for anybody who's looking for a cheap living situation I have a extra room available. (pilots only)

I'm hearing PHX is not that hard to hold any longer.

Your situation is pretty much me two years ago.

I switched from S5 to YV in Spring of 2013 (Fall 2011 hire) and couldn't be happier. How we are treated by CP's crew scheduling, crew pay, etc, is truly night and day (in a good way) compared to the nightmare of a place known as RAH.

I've heard from CA friends at RAH they believe upgrades will reach 10 years if they are allowed to park the 145s early, (as BB wants), and with the winding down of the Q.

Guys are holding PHX 2-3 months out of training.

I keep hearing that new hires are either not showing up to class or are leaving mid ground school, anyone else hearing this?

No. We aren't maxing class capacity and there are a few no shows, but I haven't heard of one person leaving mid ground except the groper. Why would anyone waste time going for a couple weeks to then have to explain to all future employers that you didn't complete a training event? Retarded conjecture/rumorbait at best....troll bait more likely.

Just saw on our envoy forum that MESA is offering to make the majority of each current ATP Flight School IPs loan payment, if they sign with MESA. Nice move.

Cool Republic to Mesa

Thanks guys I appreciate your input. I still am not sure what I should do considering Republic isnt such a bad Regional. Its really just the commute/Reserve thats destroying me. I've got a few more days to think about it... How many days off a month are you guys with lines getting?
