Many people ask that. Consider that pre-Covid there was early upgrade and got hours faster at mesa than anywhere else.

For every year your get there before you would have going somewhere else where you’re averaging 5-600 hours a year.

again, not meaning to be a dick…just trying to figure out what motivates folks to go to a regional that’s at the bottom of the rankings across the board, aside from possibly being home based.

as for the 300%…sure those are nice, but I would bunch them in with bonuses. Can’t budget or rely on it, but it’s a nice cherry on top. However, it says volumes about management - they’re capable of paying more, but just chose not to

Since day one in this industry I’ve been told, “go somewhere you wouldn’t mind getting stuck”?!

And even pre Covid, weren’t upgrade times similar at a few other regionals? And if you wanted to fly your butt off you could

You made a typo.. no one cares

have you ever lived in base? Sure beats the hell out of commuting and wasting half your check on a crashpad. That’s your choice though.

That’s the safe move. Some people gamble more. Fortune favors the bold. All depends on your personal risk tolerance and overall life situation.

I had seen sub one year upgrades pre Covid at mesa. Im not sure I know of anywhere else that could have happened. I could be wrong on that.
