Where have you been? According to DOT Mesa has been number 1 performer 3 years in a row.

Ahhh, the lost flying at United...you must be referring to the 200 contract that expired and was put up for bid. Skywest wrote a check for $80,000,000 to secure about half of it. Reverse auction?

Agreed.. I'll take home after tax mid 40s but still, I plan to vote no to anything put forth by the company in the coming years.. Not to mention I better be off to the military before airways sends us packing in 2015

Median income is $52k, not $60k.

Oh yeah because the other large company operating 200+ EJETS in this country has way better pay, duty rigs, cancellation pay and an awesome management team.... oh wait.

YV is much closer to a new contract than RAH is.

These bases your educated guess? Or you got it on good authority?

Honest question to Mesa guys/gals. Do you have to negotiate 175 rates or are they going to fall under crj 700/900 rates?

Honestly, I don't think upgrade times are really a big factor as they once used to be. I've seen plenty of FOs leave the last few months and I've interviewed recently as well.
