Why is any fo with less than 2years on property still there ? Unless you are about to upgrade really soon,I would hit the exit button and not look back.
Its going to get a lot worse before it gets better over there i promise you.

 

I am from PHX and want to stay close. Looked at Endeavor, but it's a quality of life thing for me. MESA has also been around forever. Seem to always get out of bad times.

 

Thanks for the tips. To be honest I'm not sure where to go. Need a fast upgrade, and smooth transition to minimize my time in a regional.

 

I am not hearing too many great things about this airline now. Thanks for the info, I'll keep looking. I'm four months out before I even get the ATP mins.

 

Ya there's around 15,000 other regional guys ahead of you that we're thinking the same thing.

 

Rude, condescending comments...unfortunate. Consider lightening up on Mesa and its employees, they're going through a bad time.

 

I would highly recommend checking out your other options. The pay, benefits, and QOL are much better at the other regionals.

Even the newly offered new hire bonus doesn't offer much.

Let's take a look at this new hire bonus structure of $30K spread over FOUR years and paid out ONLY if you are at Mesa and still an FO 4 years later. It's a big assumption to even assume Mesa will be in business in 4 years.

This new bonus will add $5K to first year pay taking it to approximately $27K.
Not quite close enough to the other carriers now offering more than double that at $58-60K.

The new bonus will add $5K to second year pay taking it to approximately $34K. Again, not even close.

Third year . . . Same. Not even in the ballpark.

And how many people will be at Mesa and still be an FO 4 years later? Very very few, if any. It's exactly why the bonus was structured this way. The last $10K will probably never be paid to anyone. So they can advertise a $30K bonus (see how big that number looks) knowing full well they will probably never pay more than $20K and that $20K is spread over 3 years. No where close to the pay the other regionals are offering.

Lastly, new hires are now getting paid more than current FOs. If there wasn't already an attrition problem, the company just created one. And that too, is a bad sign for new hires.

 

Are they though? Or is all of this just motis operandi for Mesa and extremely predictable?

 

Which are the best IAH crash pads with transportation?

 

People aren't coming here. Mission accomplished.
The info is so our pilots are informed. That was a complaint that came up during the last union conference call.
