I will likely be staying there too. I think I have found a roomate to split costs. Anyway...see you soon

Does Mesa make you pay for your own hotel in training? If they do, what a bum deal. ~8 weeks @ $35/night = $1960!!! WOWZA:eek: And thats just for a place to sleep! What about food and incidentals! Wow, guess I never realized how good we have it at XJT...

The 1st year FO pay is low enough to write off the $1960 off your taxes as a business expense if you itemize.

some clarification:

the 6/19 class is CRJ/ERJ/Dash combined.

New hires need only pay for 4 weeks of hotel, which can be split (double occupancy as skywest does) for less than $35 a night. Mesa picks up the hotel once the sim starts.

The residence inn on 44th used to give a mesa discount...single room for $30/night, plus free food & beer. That was a few years ago, but I heard they still do it.

Thanks for the info! It helps to know a little where you are heading haha:)

Yeah right, You won't even know which plane your flying for the first couple weeks. The have a habit of switching classes that first week or switching the certificate you will fly under all the way through training. I can honestly say they have a tendency to be a little disorganzed. Just make the best of it and hope that your one of the people that gets a couple weeks off before or after the sim. :)
