Mesa hiring - newhire domiciles?

[Nancy Pryor]

Anyone know how long MESA is likely to keep hiring?

And, where are MESA newhires typically going these days?
Which airplane, and which bases?

I've read the gouges but everyone is "waiting to hear" so
it doesn't tell us much.

For someone getting hired now, how long is reserve and
how long before he/she could get a different domicile?

Thank you for all constructive responses. Flame away
if you must, just remember MESA pilots don't run MESA.

Ask, and you shall receive. German citizens didn't run the Nazi government back in the day, but I wouldn't want to have moved there.

do you search this board at all to see what people think of mesa,
and you still want to work there, wtf?

New Hires are going to: IAD if CRj, MCO if ERJ, DEN if D8

Due to shitty training department, the washout rate is pretty high. Do yourself a favor, find a better airline to work for.

newhires to MCO for Delta as Comair is furloughing. That sucks. Like everyone else says don't go there and don't agree with the rationalization of management being the only problem. The pilot group needs to demand better, period.

The sad part is, them being the lowest bidder, that company CAN afford to treat them like humans. If mesa raises its costs, to maybee say, at least a Transstates level, what are those airlines going to do? There's no one lower, and blow---jets can't become nationwide overnight, there's not enough scabs in this coutry, so the airlines will pay it. And badda-bing. You guys now have 11 days off and better pay. etc.

Well said. I couldn't agree more. I saw their awards when I was in the United Express crew room the other day in ORD. They are the only company I know of where they build trips that have reserve tacked onto the end of it. I saw 4 day trips where you would sit on reserve for 6 hours at the end of the trip on your fourth day. Do yourself a favor and don't work there. Until they can't fill classes things will never change there.

As long as there are low time instructors and Mesa pilot development students who are willing to work for nothing, then Mesa will never die. Instead Mesa will drive some better airlines such as Wisconsin and Comair in danger. To these low time pilots, I have nothing against you guys and gals, it's the blood sucking management at Mesa I can't stand, they are taking advantage of these hard working low time pilots. I really hope one day all the Mesa low time pilots will standup for yourself.

As long as our union is lead by the same fat morons nothing will change. Unless the payscales or schedules affect them at the 20 yr level they don't care

Before you go and apply to Mesa, ask them how many people from other regionals have switched over to them. Then ask them how many people from Mesa have switched over to other regionals.

Ubpilot - Whats a low time pilot? I have friends that were hired at Wisconsion (with in the past 4 months) with less than 900tt, and friends that are at Comair that were hired with less than 1500tt (with in the past 6). The Wisconsion guy did not have more than 100me. I also know several people that were hired at xjet with a little over 600tt. I think all of them are low time CFI's with great attitudes.

How much time do the guys that are hired from the Comair Acadey have?

We're one step away from putting non-english speaking illegal aliens in the right seat and training them from zero time.

Good question but don't expect an honest answer.
