It's Mesa. By all means, the bad news first...

 

[pdub20s]

Bad news... all vacations up to the 23rd of Dec have been cancelled on the ERJ side....

Good news... Board of directors have asked JO to resign. and or there was a vote of no confidence and he has 30 days to get out.

If true, we need to have a party the day he is ousted.

I'll believe it when I see it. JO is a slippery guy who has gotten away with a lot of $hit in the past...

 

[WMUSIGPI]

The only reason they would dump JO is if they found a way to get Lorenzo to take over for him....

Heard the same thing at work today from a Mesa CA on our JS.

 

[NoJoy]

Please no changes at Mesa

Hey we love Mesa pilots, hired 5 of them into the DC-9 this year, starting at $38K. We love them they are doing a great job. Please don't change Mesa we want the pilots to keep leaving.

 

[RP170]

starting at $38K.

How many times have you posted this on flightinfo? I take it you use this to try to recruit regional FO's?

I was a regional FO that got hired at NetJets and am starting at $69K base salary to fly a 16,000 lb. aircraft. Is $38K supposed to be impressive starting pay for a DC-9? What is second year pay there and the captain rates?

 

[CheeseDick]

$69k? Really?

 

[CA1900]

$69k? Really?

Assuming our new TA is voted in on 12/7, yes: newhires, which all start on the 18-day schedule, will be paid $69,188. The 7/7 schedule will pay $56,875.

Not Fair

It is not fair to compare us to NJ. We are in the pay your dues category, a place you come to get the skills to go to NJ. NJ is a career position. Many of our pilots are flying there and love it. So guys if you are not $69K NJ material like RP170 come over to USA Jet and get the skills to make your next move. BTW tell me where else can a 1000TT pilot start at $34K?

The Military?

 

[pilotyip]

asolutely!!

The Military?

Greatest job in the world, but not everyone has what is takes to get a military slot. However if you can not make it into the military and you want to go through a great training program, think about USA Jet. Our pilots who went to Net Jets say their traiing has nothing on what hey got at USA Jet. In fact they said standards and SOP were much better defined at USA Jet.

Pilotyip sounds like the 2.0 of Gary Hillyer over at Flight Express!
