Stay away from Mesa

[sniper]

Wow, you just continue to show your ignorance. As of today Mesa pilots = 632 332 Captains & 300 FO's. With only the growth already announced of 40 aircraft Mesa will hire 468 pilots over the next 15 months. this SIMPLE math results in 220 new captains.

With any additional AA growth or with the 30 united E 175 options, we are looking at very fast upgrades.

Hard to compare a TA at republic with a five year old contract at Mesa?

Until you screw things up and UAL takes those planes and place them with Express jet

As in "Express Jet" better know as Skywest!!!... XJT doesn't even have a E175 program started.. It took SkyWest a Year. Mesa has a delivery in 2 months!!

Mesa is a different airline

Mesa is just a much different airline than it may have been when you were here. At least from where I sit, it is a much better run airline from a maintenance and from a pilot training and staffing perspective. This may just possibly WHY Mesa is earning new business from UAL and AA?

Its been about 7 years since I was at the regionals. I seem to remember this exact thread title. We all know mesa is not a great place. As long as there are low time, hungry pilots, with jets in their eyes, Mesa will be able to hire pilots.

Rene, are you sure about Total Mesa pilots on property? I thought the number must be much higher by now.

Total pilot group sits at very high 700's.

Based on current projections today. Mesa will have 1100 pilots. Top 600 get the CA seat. New hires will never upgrade. Very slow attrition given how senior the CA seat was before the new airframes.

And you throw in the 1500 hr minimum that is in place. Those 250 hr pilots won't get on anywhere.

I just called the chief pilot there are 637 pilots as of today. An additional 38 First officer new hires in training.

638 does not equal very high 700's.

The FEDs are gonna be all over the training and checking like flies on a fresh one. Betting pink slips will be flying like confetti, given the quality of JOs slick management skills.
This will be like a figure 8 demo derby, driven by blind people.
Look at Go and extrapolate.....
