Many people ask that. Consider that pre-Covid there was early upgrade and got hours faster at mesa than anywhere else. If you can get out of the regionals and to a legacy one year early that’s worth $400k on the back end of a 20+ year legacy career. 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

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.

My 2+ years on reserve says otherwise. You’re definitely wrong. No, I wasn’t the only one either. So thankful to be moving on though!!!
