Top 3 Pros and Cons of your airline
Just curious what this crowd has to say about their company. Please name your company if you feel comfortable and indicate the top 3 or 4 things you like and dislike about it. Please leave out commuting as a pro or con.
Mesa
Pros
Aircraft-e175
Training department- team effort, supportive and there to get you through.
Flight files- usually 6 plus hours of flying per day.
Cons
Pay- bottom of industry by a large margin
Benefits- well, there are zero. You pay for everything 100%
CEO-I'll be polite and leave it there.

I'm at a loss as to what makes the E175 this wonder jet of the modern age? Pay me what I am worth and I will fly your 172 around. The airframe type is NOT a benefit unless someone can explain to me what's so special about this mystical chariot of the heavens?

I do think it's comical that one of Mesa's arguments is "we have no 50 seaters to park," yet they're gonna have to start parking planes if they don't start paying their pilots something close to the industry average.

Maybe the Mesanites, this lost Tribe of Regionalia, are simply enduring their thousand years of hell before being delivered from wage slavery? I have only met good folks from Mesa. Very humble and good natured. But I can assure you that in the 135 world there is far worse than what Mesa could ever become.
I would add that the 12k+ training contract is a con (in various ways) to MAG

Pro's
1) Great Schedule Flexibility - SAP (Can get any days that you want off, can work as much or little as you want - best QOL tool in the regionals)
2) Growth - meaning short reserve times and fast upgrades, adding at least 35 more airplanes starting in Q1 2017.
3) Being at a Wholly Owned. Flow, paid ipads, great travel benefits (same as mainline), health insurance isn't bad, plus profit sharing.
Con's
1) Only 1 commutable base
2) Critical Pay Arbitration - Still not settled
3) No AQP (but we are getting AQP in the next few months)
