I wouldn't say its one of the best, but I'm glad you enjoy it. The people are great, and the bases are great. That's about it. I'm assuming you've worked for other regionals by making that statement?

This person is lying. Besides the horrible pay, the working life at Mesa is worse than any other regional as well. There is literally no reason to go there except if you cannot get hired by another company. Stay Away.

So the answer from the Mod is Mesa 3.0 got closed due down for security. I'm guessing (didn't get an answer on this one) that it has to do with the fact we started going down the path of which hotels one stays at during training. OR, someone said something REALLY stupid. Any interest in re-starting say a 3.5 thread?

That sounds a little off, wouldn't you just delete the post and not the whole enchilada? I'm throwing up a flag.

I don't think I've ever seen any other whole thread taken down.

There is a lot of info on any of the lines that can help inform someone who reads thru the thread, before they start posting to get an answer to their question or gain some insight into an Organization.

I'm new to the boards. Who are the moderators? Would they have anything to Gain by pulling down a whole thread?

Just curious..

I agree, why not just delete the message in question. Not a whole tread. But here's the email.


Hi there,

Thank you for your message. It seems that the mods have decided to close the thread for security reasons. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks,
Joseph

So which regionals are high stress, bad training, with hands on management and terrible crews? I hear you guys use this excuse all the time. Call a spade a spade.

Well, I can only say what my friends tell me who are employed elsewhere. Gojet is very bad, and recurrent seems to stress out my friends at Envoy
