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

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.

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.
