I'll take your word for it as I have no experience with delta, but my point is at the regional level your flight benefits will always be second rate to mainline, along with pretty much everything else in your contract. Obviously the WOs are different.

Remember that displacements and new hire assignments are different from just changing your standing bid.

Tell that to Flaps, or was it you that said along the lines, "Mesa leaves you alone, doesn't call you in to the chief pilots office for sick calls, and doesn't constantly nag you about climb profiles with acars". Of course lets not forget easily commutable bases, 700-900's, and Ejets. Hmm, thats all I can think of, besides an awesome pilot group and training department.

You're trying to compare today's hiring climate to that of 2-3 years ago when some of us were hired. Mesa wasn't a bad choice for those hired in 2013 to mid 2014 given the conditions AT THAT POINT IN TIME. Any eligible pilot has had the opportunity to upgrade in two years or less at a company with an all large RJ fleet, which was something to consider two years ago when oil prices were more than 2x more than they are currently.
