Well this is one way to attempt to keep the current pilots.. ERJ CA was just awarded to 5/25/05 hire..

Included a 12 month projection that would bring ERJ CA down to about 16 months and CRJ CA to about 21 months...

interesting...

The interesting part is that upgrade is less than 2 years at some quality companies, so why anyone goes to Mesa is beyond me!!
 
What!!! Really ...ill Be Your Fo Papichulo!!!

You Know You Going To Like It!!!
 
My God Folks!! I Am Sure That Most Of You Went To College Therefore You Can Listen!!! Mesa Is Sh*t !! Stay Away!!!
 
It is funny how some regional airline pilots /Pilot applicants/respondents to the regional forum on this site complain about Professional standards, QOL, negatively categorize such places as SKYW, Mesa, ASA, CHQ, TSA, Colgan, Pinnacle, Great Lakes etc and then turn around and go apply/tranfer for a pilot/captain position at these airlines. Hmmmm, inconsistencies. Just a thought.
 
Everybody Bitches about the QOL at every regional...Its a big circle of ********************,no matter where you are. The way I see it,if the person you are sharing a cockpit with is a good guy/gal then just do your job and enjoy flying(this is the reason we all became airline pilots ,right?). All the other gripes such as contracts and QOL can be dealt with in time.

Demonstrably untrue.

And while you might be able to put up with a certain company's B.S. for a few years, should you get stuck there longer than you originally planned, you're gonna wish you picked a better company when you started out.

The "projected upgrade list" is a fantasy. It's like asking for a weather forecast for the next 2 years. I.E., mostly garbage.
 
Upgrade that fast with virtually no growth is due to projected 40% attrition during this year alone= life sucks @ mesa.

(average 55 pilots/mo. CA and FO leaving)

5 year CRJ700 CA's interviewing at Lynx= life sucks @ mesa.

Well just to let you know I am senior to that guy by over 9 months. It says Holdback by my name. All they have to do is start paying me 50 seat Captain pay on June 16th (despite the fact that I will be flying an 86 seater) which is 45 days after the first person junior to me starts class. They can hold me on the CRJ as an F.O. forever. One of our union reps was held for 18 months. If they start moving our jets to China I will miss out on a free ATP and PIC turbine again. Just to let you know folks with more than 3 years are being held back. That 5/25 new hire you speak of. He will be the bottom guy for a very long time because we are not getting anymore ERJs. Up grade at Mesa is still 3 years on the jets and if you are a Jet F.O. you still cant bid the props. Mesa once again ignored seniority and did what was cheapest for them. The 5/25/05 guy was awarded that out of seniority order. 2 year upgrade for about 5 or 6 not everyone.

So in conclusion I would like to say "Stay away from Mesa. We don not have fast upgrades. They treat us like crap and that is what they think we are”.

Thank you for your time.
 
some guys were hired at air midwest. there are three kinds of regionals. mesa, lakes, and everyone else.
