I have 1st class medical but haven't taken ATP written. I could easily pass the written today. I am leaning towards Mesa due to the possibility of a DFW domicile, however, I would love to speak to a Mesa recruiter. Thanks for the Pm's and information. If there is anyone with additional contact info on a Mesa recruiter would you please PM the info? Thanks!
Mesa does not have a CTP program in place, so I would expect the recruiter to tell you to go get your CTP and written done and then call them back.

I’ve been evaluating these two also.
Mesa year one min guarantee is $22*76=$1,672/19=$88 per working day.
PSA is $24*75=$1,800/18=$100 per working day. Also apparently PSA has option to drop a 4 day trip $24*65=$1,560/14=$111 per working day.
On step 2 Mesa would be $116 per working day PSA would be either $141, or $157 depending on if you drop a 4 day.
If you drop a 4 day trip with PSA you still make $6 bucks more than Mesa every month, and work 5 days less. Just for some fudge factor I’ve read people claiming Mesa lines are always min days off and min credit every month, where as PSA the lines generally look better the above, was assuming they have min 12 days off, but that is a guess. So, if PSA started you off with a 14 day off line then you dropped a 4 day you could have 18 days off making $184 dollars per working day on step 2, or $6 bucks month more than Mesa with an extra 7 days off per month.
For the commute you would have to look at passridder.com, I’ve read if there is a 10 Pm flight home you should always make it home same day as released. The upgrade time should be equal, and with PSA there should be opportunity to make more in overtime, like if you have to commute the day before and you also get an early report than that’s 125% above the monthly stipend. I have no idea if that would actually ever work out like that though.
I am interested in what you learn with the recruiters, please keep us informed.
