What is the upgrade time for Mesa???

 

[weeks]

Very hard to say as it changes almost monthly. CRJ, about 3 to 3.5 years, Dash, about 2 years currently.

3 years. One year to build time and bail out, then 2 years at Chautauqua.

Or one year on the 1900 as a SIC and then go to Ameriflight as a PIC.

You shouldn't care

Two months when I upgraded, and it wouldn't be a far cry to see that again on the 1900. They are having trouble filling an upcoming upgrade class, only 6 FO's are bidding it. CRJ: 3 years, Dash: 2years, 1900: Maybe 1 month, maybe never. Go work somewhere else, you don't want to be here.

Perputually in 1900 Hell

Besides the pay and working for JO what is so bad about mesa? It seems like most regionals suck and should be avoided. Does a quick upgrade help?

Its not the pay...we arn't the greatest pay wise, but we definitly not the worst. Its the treatment that makes this place so bad. We are not even treated like human beings, I would feel bad doing a lot of the stuff we are subjected too to a dog. You would have to be here to understand fully, but trust those of us here, YOU DON'T WANT TO BE HERE. Upgrade or not, it dosen't matter, go work for somebody decent (and yes there are some decent regionals)

Do you think you would feel differently if you werent in the 1900? I know a few people that are Captains on the CRJ and they said its great! Mesa is hurting because they do treat thier pilots like crap sometimes and dont follow their contract, but I heard it is getting better.

Everybody I have talked too that has gone over to the other side from the 1900 says "same shoot, different airplane". Just what I have heard....and this side isn't getting any better, in fact due to a shortage of 1900 pilots things have gotten much much worse. I do know the CRJ is hurting for pilots too, and I only hope things on that side are better, though I don't believe so

Is Denver only a dash base and how long till you can bid over to the jet?

I have an interview with Mesa next week ( I live in PHX ) Just got an offer to start at Pinnacle on Aug. 22nd but Im still undecided over which one to pick if I get an offer from Mesa too......... If I dont get PHX right away Im sure I wouldnt have to wait too long to get back to PHX. I dont mind commuting if I know I could potentially get PHX.
