EEEK, Typical Mesa schedule

[Beantown]

Don't forget about the wonderful twelve hour ready reserve shifts that Mesa loves to assign (but not pay for).

Just so everyone has the facts:

1. 12 hr RR shift pays 5.9 hrs. (far from nothing)

2. Mesa is on a 28 day bid, so 8 days off is 9 days off in a month. (one less then most)

3. B/C of the 28 day bid, the 70 hr guarantee is 76 hrs in a month. (one More then most)

Carry on -Bean

Ahh. So why do (did) we see so many folks routinely sleeping in the crew room in PHL? Some kind of "hot" or "airport" or someother double-secret reserve? It was always after 1800, btw. Was it krap pay, or krap reserve rules, or both?

Cheaper than a crash-pad?

 

[av8er2]

And what's the pay???

So you want to be a pilot uhh?

 

[mamba20]

You go to Mesa, you deserve it.

 

[labbats]

I have no respect for Mesa or Mesa workers. Never will.

 

[Sig]

Cheaper than a crash-pad?

And 100% less dignity.

"Typical schedule" - my ass

Typical if your a brand new FO or Capt. I worked there for a few years and never had a schedule like that. Right now a FO can hold a line in Chicago with only a few months online.

Just more people babbling on about something they know nothing about.

Oh- and Labbats

Was it all your glorious experience in Cessnas or pipers that made you such incredible judge of character? - Douche

Thats ok, me and the rest of my buddies here at Mesa will upgrade next month and be able to move on to the Majors in a year. Oh wait a minute..... we fly 90 soon to be 110 seat aircraft? I guess we killed the dream we wanted so bad.

Not to dump more fuel on a fire that already burning pretty hot, but I understand that a "day off" isn't actually a calender day, but a 24 hour period, which creates the possibility for all kinds of garbage. Finish an assignment at noon on Tuesday. Report at 1300 on Wednesday for the next assignment. There's your day off buddy.

 

[Dirty Sanchez]

You should have read the contract and talked to someone about the schedule before you took the job.

Quit crying.

Day off is a calendar day per the contract.
