13 bid periods x 8 days off at mesa= 104 days off per year...... 12 bid periods x 11-12 days off (standard at most other regionals?)= 132-144 days off per year(minimum). math lesson over, stop trying to justify mesa

It says Mesa Lineholders have a minimum off 10 days off per bid period. That equals 130 days off for the year. Maybe someone at Pinnacle can correct me if I'm wrong, but I am reading they get a minimum off 10 days off which equals 120 days off for the year.

ok, lineholders get 10 days off per bid period.... that still doesnt justify going to work for a criminal.

If converted to 12 bid periods, Mesa pilots get 8.5 days off on reserve and 10.8 off for line holders. You still have to work more for same amount of pay as the rest of us.

Coming from someone that continually trashed Gojet, then went there a few months ago when he lost his job, I'd take any criticism you say about any airline with a grain of salt......I'm willing to bet you applied to Mesa and Gojet, Gojet just gave you the offer first.

Now defending both Go Jet AND Mesa. Why don't you start defending clubbing baby seals, beating homeless men and pardoning child sex offenders while your at it? The wonders never cease.........

Yes, very well I might add. I'm sorry, all the bs that comes out of your mouth about GJ I guess my mind went into spasm.

Oh so now your BASHING Mesa? A bit hypocritical no Mr. GoJet? You jumped from the frying pan into the fire and you cast dispersions.
