If you have been somewhere for a number of years, then yea maybe... But then again why would you be making a lateral move and not an upward move to an LCC or something?
Someone that got shanghaied into coming to PSA in the last 6 months by the lies of recruiters is royally screwed. They are going to be on reserve for a LONG time, and have a really long upgrade in front of them. There is no reason for this. They can go to another airline and get more money and a better quality of life. They can spend 5 years there, and then move on. It will be 5 years at least at PSA anyways.

We'll see... It may not be as long as they think. Attrition has already started to pick up. Next year the floodgates are opened wide on retirements. If management thinks they have a problem now, just wait. There will be movement regardless of growth and flow.

If for no other reasons, having fewer employers makes filling out applications easier. I will not leave Mesa for a lateral move, only upwards.
I don't understand though why some one would go to GoJet over Mesa. As useless as our union appears, they do prevent the attrocities that GoJet can inflict on individual pilots.

Um.... Maybe because said person doesn't want to make 22 dollars per hour.... That's why they would chose Gojet over Mesa . Mesa right now is the place where you go if you busted out of training somewhere else .

Isn't anywhere an upwards move from Mesa?

Maybe Great Lakes? Other than that, Mesa is the bottom of the barrel. I used to think that about GoJet, but no. It is Mesa.

PSA's new recruiting slogan:

"Come to PSA. At least we're not Mesa!".

If your only criteria is pay, I see your point. If you look beyond pay, well, just ask all the former GoJetters that are flocking to Mesa. Vast majority of them think Mesa is a million times better. PSA's training, you guys seem to still be failing a lot of people, some very smart, and sharp individuals that are very fine pilots. I've flown with them, it doesn't make sense. Oh well, no such bullcrap at Mesa.

Although I do know a guy at Mesa that is a quality pilot, I know of three personally that have busted training at psa and passed at Mesa six months later without any problems. So this is definitely true

Unfortunately I know people that busted at Mesa that got hired at PSA, but then busted, and finally got on over at GoJet...Its like that almost everywhere. It's the regionals...
