Things can easily change overnight. I personally wouldn't want to be stuck at Mesa of all places when they do change. They're offering unsolicited class dates over the phone to people who applied years ago. That kind of company culture just sounds embarrassing and unprofessional to me.

Not chasing an upgrade. If choosing between Skywest and Mesa in the current environment, I'd choose Mesa. They're adding planes and Skywest has 90+ planes coming off contract in two years.
Mesa isn't that bad when you have a line. Reserve on the jet is running 1.5 - 2 years on the jet at Skywest.
Personally, I think Skywest is a better company to work for, but if a young pilot is looking to get his/her time and get out, Mesa is the better choice.

I dont think Delta or United are pounding down the doors of those Captains with 1000 TPIC. There are tons of individuals with well over the "magical" number trying to get hired on at a major. My point is regardless of whether you upgrade or not, the wait may be awhile. If you are able to work at a reputable company rather than one you're going to be miserable at, I take the reputable one.
