Very highly doubt any official raises. Unless you live in one of the bases, find a another company to work for, you will be better off. The quick upgrades do not exist for new hires unless attrition picks up.

This is correct, thank you. It was actually 85 out the door.

This is obviously your first 121 airline, given what you're saying here. It's so obvious I don't even need to ask you if it is.

And it's pretty obvious you're a new-ish FO with moderate English proficiency, who has no idea how the average 121 pilot at most other US regionals--and particularly at US mainline/LCC carriers--views their obligations to their employers/passengers.

You obviously don't "get it" or understand what I'm saying, so maybe next time you end up in a jumpseat on a mainline flight, ask the pilots if they RUN to the next gate or help throw valet bags when their inbound flight is late with a plane swap. Please, please ask some mainline pilots about that...and when they literally laugh out loud at that question, come back here and tell me all about it. Ok?

If they can even understand what he is asking.

I don't want to be a jerk or alienate someone whose first language isn't English, but, well, everytime I travel to a foreign country I at least make an effort to learn about the history and culture and community of anything I try to participate in or involve myself in...Cherokee Micro obviously needs to do some more research on the history and culture of this profession in the United States if he or she is going to participate in it as a Mesa pilot.

Talking

Mesa pilots don't wear hats, so they occasionally can run through the terminal.

Less than a year as a FO, just updated my airline apps...

I'm trying to research what other Regionals, I might be interested in next..

I can't take the pay and lack of benefits much longer, if you were considering another Regional, Who would be on your list for consideration, with pay and benefits as a driving factor?

Thanks

I like most everyone I have works with at Mesa and have found helpful advice from them in the past.
