That's about 40 fewer than when I left, with more planes to staff. Next 12 months should be interesting for you guys.

When your JA'd, just tell them that's what you want. If they have no one else, they'll do it. Depends on what you feel your time is worth right?

Exactly. If they want it flown, they will pay that. Either that or pay the cancellation fine.

Personally, I wouldn't pick up a trip for less than 300%. And that is the bare minimum. My limited time with my family is worth more than that.

Agree 100%! It may sound good to get 200% but it's not a lot of money in your pocket and if you're commuting...laughable. It is financially irresponsible to work at Mesa as an FO.

This has gotten real interesting for many of the FO's here including myself. I have been running the numbers and I just don't see more than 6 upgrades a month for a long time. That being said I am on my second year and sill 80 some peeps ahead of me. So that begs the question continue to starve for a while till upgrade or jump it over to envoy. Many of the FO's in my initial class have been scratching their heads with the same question.

Yes every one is applying with LCCs but unless you have boobs and blond hair or military expirence it seems few are getting calls. (FO's specifically) So what to do, what to do.

Should have been on the phone with envoy, pdt, or endeavor as soon as the last conference call was over.

If it ever bugs you too much, PM me and I'll share my thought process and how I weighed the options. There is an argument for leaving or staying, your life goals and situation become big factors very quickly.

It's not a fun game, but there are options available that did not exist just a few months ago.
