The man that invented autocorrect died on last Friday. His fun day was the following monkey.

And, yes. I would expect PSA and Piedmont to swing back with another increase too.

If anyone is keeping score, the other companies' signing bonuses are now more than a Mesa FO's full year pay.

Watching these volleys go back and forth is entertainment at it's finest.
WO"s bonus money alone is more than mesa's fo full years salary.That is terrible.Mesa better get it together real quick, otherwise they will never catch up with the rest of the industry.
If I were an fo there, I would definitely bail,even if I was about to upgrade. I would just upgrade somewhere else.

I can confirm that my yearly premiums, maxed out on everything, is less than 3 months of premiums at Big M, and the coverage is much better.
I think Chris is right, all 3 WO and AA have different medical plans as far as I know.

AA also gets a 16% direct contribution, not a match.

Why is a PSA pilot and an Envoy pilot in a Mesa thread discussing their insurance plans? Hmmmm. ��

Normal companies contribute 400-600/mo these days to provide a quality affordable health care plan to its employees. Mesa pilots are told obamacare is their solution. JO can get away with 0 because he's a piece of garbage. Anybody that can should bail to help themselves. Medical issues will bleed you dry on your 'plan'. Who in their right mind sells themselves for 40% of industry standard. A rising tide lifts all ships. Pilots helping pilots if you need a reason. Hang in there and give JO everything you've got if you wish.

What this guy said. Pilots helping pilots.

Mesa FOs are looking to bail for better opportunities. This insurance information about other companies helps those that are researching their options.

I was just replying to something that poster said wasn't correct. The WOs absolutely DO NOT have the same healthcare or retirement benefits as mainline. If we did then we would all just be mainline because those benefits they get are part of what make them cost so much more than regional lift.

Hey everyone. If your you are a commuter and are interested in having unlimited Internet access in the sky for a low fee monthly fee PM me. We have a group of pilots that share a monthly account and split the cost to make it more affordable. This service can be used on United, AA, Virgin, Alaska, American, Delta. Recently a pilot of ours left for a LCC and his slot opened up. Service works great and costs less than $25 depending on how many people are in the group at the time.

Because the coverage was so very good and inexpensive, I thought it was the same, but after further investigation and asking those who I was with, I understand why I would say that the packages are the same, they are not, But it is such a dramatic improvement it's just crazy.

I have a new life after Mesa, I just post here for my friends still there and others investigating their options, I think I always state everyone should do their own research. Sometimes I might use improper grammar or spellings, growing up in a household that spoke other languages. Apologies

No Worries, I'm over it now. If people want to stay or choose Big M as their employeer, cool. Enjoy
