Good for them. However I'm still trying to pay my credit card for my: iPad, iPad holder, suction cup mount, uniforms, luggage... On this first year pay should be done by the end of my training contract... What a joke.

The referral bonus is a joke and an insult to our pilot group. I wouldn't advise anyone to come here until we see significant improvements across the board. For those wanting to come here because you cannot get hired anywhere else, more specifically the older crowd who sees this as a hobby or those who barely made it through flight school, maybe the airline industry isn't for you. Don't take it personally, but some people just were not meant to fly for the airlines.
And for those wanting to come here specifically for the PHX base, DON'T do it for the sake of your career progression. You will not upgrade out west until you are old enough to be a member of AARP. And I'm not even exaggerating.
Go to a company that is at least taking positive steps towards valuing their pilots for what we are worth, not that such a thing exists in the regional world, and GTFO of the regionals as soon as you can.

An acquaintance started yesterday. Said he gets $500 towards an iPad, $250/week food allowance, and $1000 allowance for a crash pad. Don't know if the crash pad is a one time payment or a monthly payment.
Also someone who was hired in July is resigning and going to PSA. He said they offered him a $1000 towards a crash pad if he would reconsider.

So they are now paying for iPads, and a stipend for a crash pad... If you are a lifer at Mesa, perhaps it is time to re-think things...
