Once the flood of regional pilots discover a place is decent, its too late.

I know I'm regretting my decision everyday. I could still be on reserve and have my promised flow. All I have now is 4 bars and a awesome schedule. But seriously let us know how it is in 6 months. You "might" change your tune. Good luck I hope it works out.

giggity37 left Envoy for Mesa-I'll give you a moment to stop laughing..go ahead, I'll wait-then proceeded act like he made the best decision ever. And when I left Mesa for Envoy, he made the post above...

Well, it's been well over 6 months...and how is it working out for me? Lol...you still think I "might" change my tune? Well here you go: Best decision of my life. Night and day. How else can I put it?

Another point: Some of you at Mesa are afraid of making a lateral move because you think a Regional is a Regional is a Regional. Wrong. Listen carefully. Anywhere you go from Mesa will be a HUGE step up...including to any other Regional short of Great Lakes or Silver. You don't realize how much better other Regionals are run, how they are more professional, how better life is, etc...

Point is, it's not a lateral move if you are coming from Mesa. For Christ's sake look at the pay difference between Mesa and Envoy. That's just for starters. The training, maintenance, benefits, all of it is like going from a podunk commuter to a real airline. Get up and move now...you are wasting time at Mesa.

And giggity37...tell us how things are working out for you these days. Still want to make sarcastic, smug remarks? Still think you leaving Envoy for Mesa was a great move? We've come a very long way since that original post of yours, haven't we?
