Freedom
 

Freedom operates under Mesa, right? Is life so bad here? If one was hired by Mesa, how difficult is it to get MCO?

1. Yes

2. Yes

3. I don't know...but I will give you the finger every time I commute. :D

If you are hired by mesa, they will assign you an aircraft that suites their needs...you will be equipment locked for life (until you can upgrade into the CRJ...you will never be allowed to transition as an FO like you can at other airlines). If you are assigned the CRJ you will never, ever be able to bid the ERJ.

Your equipment determines your domicile:

D-8: PHX, COS, DEN
ERJ: MCO, ATL, JFK (expect JFK)
CRJ: IAD, ORD, CLT, PHX, Hawaii (expect IAD).

Much appreciated. Great way to start the day! lol

So what I'm hearing is: Even if you have to commute for a different airline, it is far better than hooking on with Mesa and living in base? Man, you'd think management would realize that they are driving their pilots away and start doing things differently.

Mesa management is the best a driving their pilots away. People are starting to learn before going to Mesa. That is all we can hope for. Who knows, maybe they will get a better contract. Oh, I am sorry, I just got back to reality.

Yes, better to commute.

Mesa management appears to be functioning in a delusional fantasy-land. Part of their problem is that their middle-managers (like most mesa employees) are worthless incompetents who are too spineless to tell the top bosses anything they don't want to hear. I'm not sure that JO realizes exactly how much deep do-do he's in now that the bottomless pilot-well has run dry. By the time they figure it out it will be too late.

I think mesa's current business plan is to hope like hell for another 9/11 event that will solve their pilot shortage. If you think I'm kidding about this, you have obviously never worked at mesa.

SharkyN584......you dont want to make that mistake and flick me off while your commuting...trust me!

Oooooooooooohhhhhhhhhh! :rolleyes:

Okay guys. Before things get out of hand, everyone cool down. Please, keep it civil and respectful.
