I must say, the post of "a day in the life of" kinda opened my eyes to the company and QOL. I think making factual post like that would cut all the back and forth out about the company if we had real experience or current pilots throughin in their two cents about what their bid periods are, upgrade time...etc Thanks for the post guys.

Do you REALLY need your face rubbed in dog doo before you smell it and make the decision to turn the other way?????

I really hated CFIing foreign students in FL 125hrs a month not including ground instruction....so yes and I might even need smacked on the nose to make me turn the other way and go back to teaching....

So you've heard from those that were there that its a terrible job, you even admit the post about the "day in the life" made you stop and think yet you'll still go to a complete crapbag company. SJS at its finest folks. Pretty soon you greenhorns will be the guys at JO's 51st birthday party slapping him on the bum up on stage just to get a shot at one of those sharp looking jets!!

Dude you need to get off your high horse I beleive you used to work at Mesa right........ The last thing I want to do is rah rah the co. (especially during so called negotiations) but seriously take a look in the mirror. Your experience gained as an FO at Mesa has a large part to do with employment at your current job.

BTW for all individuals interested I was forewarned I did not heed the counsel I wish I had, but I have made the most of it. Best of luck to all times are tough.

Yes I did and if I had heard from some of those who were there you bet your a** I would have taken a HARD look at the decision to go there. My fault for not doing the research. But these guys are getting the truth SPOON FED to them and they still decide to ignore it. I could have spent a few more years instructing and gotten the same job just like 90% of the guys in my ground school did. So right now it may take some more instructing, BIG DEAL. So save your attacks for when you need them with all the nonsense you'll continue to put up with at MAG. Its about trying to educate some naive kids about the life they are in for over there, not about being on a "high horse". But like I said, usually the naive know it all and whats best so this is a waste of time.......do whatever you want. Just don't expect us that have been there to dab your tears in the end.

Mesa? Read UND's post one more time there, junior...I'm lousy seniority in base here and I'm still enjoying 80 hours and 17 days off in August. The best part is my time at home is mine. I could pick up over 100 hours credit like usual and still hold 14 days off, but at least I have the choice not to.

Dab my tears please.........already turned down some offers as the pay was not acceptable, but it looks like you've got all the answers best of luck to you greenhorn.:D

Wow, got me with the greenhorn comment. Yup, your a master. Well done sensei. I'm sure your maturity is commesurate with your total time :D

That's classic you are speaking to me about maturity. :eek: Keep up the laughs chief. But you are correct sir I still consider myself a greenhorn it's all relative ya know.
