Suggestions Mesa/TSA/Envoy/GoJet
 

Hello people,

I'm new in the forum. I'm still kinda looking for information about the Regional airlines, I'm planning to interview soon with one of them. Currently the ones that got my attention are Mesa Airlines, Trans State Airlines, Envoy and GoJet Airlines.

Any thoughts on which one is the best decision to go with? Any information about them? If they're growing or not, etc.

I know there should be a lot of opinions, like Mesa, most of the people say to run away from them, but I don't know if is true. I want to read your suggestions.

Thanks for the help!!!

I don't think you will much on here that would make you want to go to gojet. I was there and I never imagined that a company would ever treat people like they did. I won't go into details because others already have. I kind of feel like the only survivor of a platoon at the end of the war and will feel guilty about it the rest of my life. If you go there after finding out about it then you are a fool, which I hope you are not. I don't think TSA is much better. I have no opinion about Mesa.

Skywest has the best training in the industry and upgrade will be about 2 years which is pretty quick for most people who need to get some experience before going into the left seat. Skywest runs a quality outfit and they get pass privileges on Delta, United, American, and Alaska. Delta is the one you want. United flights are always overbooked so their pass privileges are worthless.

So people are telling you to run away from mesa, but you want other random strangers to verify if it's true? Did you look at any of the applicable threads before posting this? Don't answer that.

Of the 4 you mentioned, Envoy. Stay away from the other 3 unless you can live in base and drive to work. Even then, I would consider staying away from them.

Of those 4 I would consider Envoy the most serious. While far from perfect, I think it would provide you with the best opportunity as of right now.

Mesa has awful pay and will likely stagnate in the near future as their aircraft deliveries drop off and upgrades slow to a trickle.

TSA has been having difficulty filling classes and I think I read that they are not taking all of the originally slated 145 deliveries?

GoJet just upped first year pay but they got rid of their new hire bonus (to my understanding) which means you will make the same as almost anywhere else right now when you take that bonus out of the equation. Unless you live in STL I wouldn't really consider them.

LOL. Of all the regionals you are looking at the three of the worst regionals out there. I never thought Envoy would be listed among the bottom but we have definitely been left behind with the pay scale QOL and stagnation. So for now I guess we are one of the bottoms. Any ways, to answer you question of those four Envoy is the no brainier.

However, why not Endeavor, Skywest, or even air Wisconsin?

Where do you live? Are you planning on moving?

What is the most junior domicile for Envoy? I am planning on living near DFW, and just want a regional where I do not have to commute.

TSA is not stopping deliveries. You heard wrong.

Envoy shoot me a pm if you need any info

At envoy, the last few classes have been mostly DFW with a few ORD slots. Going forward, I have been told they are planning mostly E175 DFW.
