others were being obtuse and saying they had people upgrading out of fo training. Well, that’s a lateral move, which are generally not a good idea at the regional level.

that was my point about mesa. Someone could show up at 1500 hours and get an upgrade at month 12. Houston people not included.

But please, continue to convince us all that Mesa is a magical unicorn.

Guess if you’re going to be obtuse, then there were nearly identical opportunities at other regionals for people to get the legally-required time to upgrade as soon as possible, 117 flight time limits notwithstanding.
But please, continue to convince us all that Mesa is a magical unicorn.

In the long run you’re losing out on a lot of money, from 401k contributions to an entire year or more of captain pay on the back end of your earning.
Getting your time and getting out of the regionals should be everyone’s goal. My opinion. There are reasons to go to every regional and reasons not to. Each person has to figure out their priority and make their own decisions. I just laugh at the people who say there was no good reason to go to mesa. That wasn’t true at the time.

You have bad data on the WOs because there were a lot of FOs doing everything possible to keep from giving up their bases and QOL due to a forced upgrade such as bidding reserve and signing up for last call out to drag out the inevitable forced upgrade. But the opportunities were there for the taking.
The exception was Endeavor because of the log jam of FOs there and Republic because of the their upgrade requirements of having 2500 hours TT (this kept 1000 R-ATPs from upgrading at 2000 hours/1000 121). Catch my drift.

OK, Mesa wasn’t the only place where folks can upgrade within 12 months from DOH prior to Covid. Air Wisconsin, GoJet, Skywest, PSA (I upgraded in 12 months here and PSA were forcing upgrades prior), Piedmont , Envoy (forcing upgrades), TSA, Compass.

My best month at Envoy was 104 hours block. If you worked like a dog, you could hit the required 950 at Envoy in a year too. Thinking Mesa was somehow unique in that was ignorant.
