There are two Mesa refugees in my RAH class. They both left b/c of the horrible QOL and the very real prospect that Mesa may not survive the pilot shortage. No regional can adequately staff their operations right now. Someone is going to end up standing when the music stops. There's a good chance Mesa will be hurt in some way.

the Dash upgrade went from street captains to who knows. Freedom Dash is dead almost everyone went to Den so upgrade is now a shot in the dark. the most JR ERJ CA was awarded JFK today with a hire date 11/05 Senority # 1120's, CRJ CA is ORD with a hire date 04/04 sen # high 800's awarded a month ago. Yea mesa sucks but ive moved 450+ #s in 9 months. i cant really justify going to the bottom of another stepping stone.

If you've moved up 450 numbers in 9 months and 300 numbers in 6 months - you're getting what $22/hour or $19/hour as a turboprop FO?- any other place except Skywest you'd be getting a pay raise.
While they may award you a captain upgrade soon, they'll hold you back and not pay protect you, like they did with the ERJ upgrades they awarded in May - awarded around 60 ERJ captain upgrades and held back 45 - and some of those held back have been at Mesa for 3-4 years - with the seniority to upgrade but still not seeing it.
If you're a Dash FO, the best base Mesa has is GJT - I know an F/O who's been flying the Dash for 2 years and she's never had less than 17 days off and has never been on reserve.
But if Mesa is helping you meet your long term goals then by all means stay there.
