Almost positive SkyWest does as well. At the end of the day, people should do their own research on the airline(s) they are considering working for. I applied to several airlines, turned down a few offers, and chose SkyWest. I have a family to feed, so pay and stability was an important factor, not to mention perceived self respect.
We all get it, Mesa sucks and is full of losers...Skywest is awesome is full of bottle poppin' winners dropping panties everywhere
We're all the same in the eyes of mainline, hoss. Don't forget your place on the food chain.

No, not saying a SkyWest pilot is better than a Mesa pilot at all. What I am saying is that given the choice to work for more money under better conditions or work for less compensation under worse conditions, I would choose the former. Wouldn't you?

Good Post, I was mislead and am now looking for my next move.
I like my co-workers here at Mesa, but at the end of the day, it don't pay the bills...
And not all Regionals are alike, look at the pay and the benefits. Even if you make Captain at Mesa, if you pay for Mesa's Benefits, you will be making less than an FO who has been at another for a year or two.
Bottom Line:
How much suffering you willing to endure to work here?

Just wondering if you guys have CDO, Standups, Nap trips or whatever they are calling them these days? My corporate gig is coming to an end in May and I'am sick of 21-60 day trips around the world. I currently live in DFW and use to fly for ASA when they had a base there back in the day. Mesa is sounding like an easy gig doing standup trips. The only other option for DFW is going with Envoy. Pay sucks at both so what would be the better option? I have a little over 4000 121 time too and know that helps a bit but have not flown 121 since 2004.

All you new hires who haven't flown a plane since 2005 but accepted the job over the phone:
- Compared to those who are current, you will struggle.
- Just like those before you, you will fail.
- Learning how to fly a jet is not as easy as the recruiters will tell you.
- Basic Indoc will probably be enough to blow your mind by itself.
- Your instrument skills are inadequate, you've been out of the game too long. This will expedite your demise.
- If you absolutely must come here, go to the CRJ. While the recruiter will tell you that the EJET does everything for you, it's much more complicated than that.
Do yourself a favor, keep using Microsoft Flight Sim and don't quit your day job.
