More like c scale. B scale being the e 190 pay scale

 

I didn't see an answer to this question so here you go. Very short. As of May 2016 they requested all FO's wanting to upgrade to get their paperwork in to coincide with logging 1000 SIC. My understanding it would expedite upgrade class scheduling.

 

I'm part of the 3/31/2016 class at Mesa (still in training) and wanted to respond to comments made here. Appologize for the random responses...just wanting to keep it brief.

The Mesa training staff has been nothing but supportive to our class giving sufficient time to digest course material and study time. High marks in my book.

We have a wide variety of students. From military pilots to CFI's that haven't flown anything but 172's (except to obtain ratings). My experience has been awesome. I look forward to being in PHX and class when away because of the friends and comradery.

To date I have completed: Indoc and test, CTP and ATP written, systems and test. In 2 weeks I have my oral and begin FTP and sims. So far Mesa has done everything possible to make me successful.

Please remember the airline business is a very tough business, some would say terrible business. It's a tough business because of the whim of the economy, intense competition, cost of capital equipment, fuel and is very labor intensive (pilots, mechanics and FA's). Throw in that we are sub-contractors to mainline and.....

I encourage all to do your very best. Look and act professional (do you need to loose weight?) and have an attitude that a company want's more of, not less. Be conversational and creative in your new employment endeavors...don't rely on your young age, flying hours and pilot skills. And remember, you never know who is riding in the crew or parking lot shuttle bus with you. It could be a decision maker or influencer.

Just a few thoughts. Want nothing but the best for all of you.

Thats good. I just started with envoy but upgrades here are 7-8yrs which I personally find ridiculous.

Might jump ship after training.

 

Then do yourself and Envoy a favor and resign NOW! Be professional for god sakes.

You obviously have a hard on for the 175. Go to RAH. The entire airline is what you want to fly.

Also good luck explaining why you left straight after OE if you ever find yourself in a legacy interview. It does not do you any favors.

Just go to RAH. They will still be flying for United and Delta despite the Bk. They might lose AA, but regardless.

 

This has probably been covered but captain pay isn't 65 it's basically 55 for those who decide to come for the upgrade. On reserve all flight hrs not actually flown are paid out at 50 seat pay.

 

Didn't say MESA doesn't lose CA's. How many in the last 2 years went to UA, DL or AA. And be specific!

Show me the numbers

 

Don't even waste your breath on that guy. He's either lost his marbles or is a really bad troll.

 

Kinda hard to do since there's no way to get that information. Just like you can't get that normally anywhere else either. AA isn't hiring ANYONE that isn't flow-through or military so that's not a big threat. I know plenty of Mesa people at both UA and DL. But again, there's 0 way to prove it.

 

Alpa publishes yearly hiring info for ual and dal. Including what airline they came from. In 2015 less than 30 for united and delta came from mag.
