My thinking exactly. I can't do FO pay for any sort of extended time which is why I am asking about the Captain situation. Coming in direct entry or being an FO again for a very limited time is the only way I can make this work.

And that's another thing, aside from pay our overnight hotels are the worst part of working here. You will feel safer not wearing a condom with a random off tinder than sleeping in the buff at some of these nasty places. Not even kidding.

Don't be so hasty to take iFlyRC's advice. I think he has good intentions but he comes off as a company koolaid drinker. It's not horrible here on CA pay but you should definitely look elsewhere before coming here. If I lived close to IAD I'd look into this place:

thought about them too. the benefit there is definitely the higher FO pay if that's where I get stuck, plus the training is in the IAD area...lots to think about thanks for all the input

Let's get one thing straight. You management/recruiter types are messing with people's lives. You lie about the quick upgrade, you lie about the benefits, and now you are lying about a rumor that we will start hiring street captains. Some good people save up there money for this job, because they can't raise a family on $20,000/yr. Have you no shame. What I am doing, and others too, is calling you out. If you future Mesa pilot prospects want to know the truth, PM a few guys on here, they will tell you the truth. Management/recruiter type have only one tool left to get you in the door, and suffer making that $20,000, awful benefits, crap hotels and even worse work rules, and that is LYING to you. Do your research. Peace out. And you my sir drank more Koolaid then anyone.
