I know 3 FOs who bailed in the last month. 1 ejet and 2 crj. Checking the roster there are still a few more FOs from last month who resigned also.

Who actually wrote the TA? Was it a Mesa pilot(s)? I think we can see from this thread that the tight legal language required of a document like this is beyond the reach of our pilots. If it's voted down, maybe a professional should be hired to rewrite the thing, though I'm guessing that'd be pretty expensive.

I don't think there's more money, but the loose language and weird reserve rules make me uncomfortable.

Im on the list of "bailing" next month to compass. I enjoyed the mesa wave and all the great stories from senior CAs but other carriers have so much more to offer right now.

What is the current upgrade projection over at Compass?

If you're trying to chase another upgrade you're better off here where you've accrued seniority. Compass had to bypass A LOT of FO's already on property for upgrade who just didn't have the time required.
I considered this move too. After speaking with a few friends who are huge advocates for compass, the reality is now they have so many FO's who are now eligible for upgrade, a new hire won't see one for a couple years at least, and it will be purely based on attrition.
Not to mention, Compass will most likely lose their American flying out of LAX to Envoy as soon as their 175 program is up.
I don't get why people would come to Mesa, spend a short time here and bail. Why wouldn't you have just skipped Mesa in the first place?

compass isnt that big of an airline to have bypassed as many FOs as you make it sound like. I was hired only a couple months ago and sit around 650 on the list, and there are easily more captains on the list than fo's. They are still filling classes without much issue, thats the biggest key to continued upgrades. Heard in the school house that the current rate of hiring will continue through at least January. Its a bit short sighted to be guessing about what planes will be here in 2021 and while also assuming we wont have added flying which seems like a certainty. maybe even sooner than later
