Van ride with another crew, interesting comment...

[TEXAN AVIATOR]

Yeah,

what about the 135, the 145... why just the XR -- I thought you guys flew all the models of that toilet tube...

Yeah that's right, jump on the bandwagon! Oh, I think you had "Gold Seal" in your profile too. What did you change it before you posted dickcheese? :angryfire

I only fly the XR, I'm just badass like that.:erm:

 

[mozzer]

TA, you are a serious embarrassment to yourself and the fine folks at Expressjet. You don't know when to shut up.

 

[GogglesPisano]

Dude you are so COOL!!

I hope I can be as cool as you some day......A$$CLOWN!

I hope so too.

The subject should remain on course. Look at airlinepilotcentral.com and Mesa. How f'ing pathetic and not even profit sharing. I guess that all goes to Orstein along with pride, balls, motorcyles, etc.

There may be a lot of really good guys at Mesa, but no a lot of smart ones.

And you know this how? What a doof. This has to take the cake for the "Moronic Flamebait Post of the Day." You feel better now? Do you have something intelligent to add to the thread?

And you took the time to respond to it. Point! And by the way, it's more than Flamebait; the sad part is, it be the truth.

I jumpseat on Mesa often, and have nothing but good things to say about the crews. They are always accommodating and look like they are having a good time. The flight attendants are young, but they are the only flirtatious ones I've seen in a while (maybe they're just that desperate). I occasionally BBQ with a Mesa CA (neighbor) and when we talk flying, it seems like he has a job just like the rest of us, except he's not worried about being furloughed.

Again the point is their idiots. They be having a good time, but either they are total aviation dorks with little life outside of flying, they are moronic for not getting paid properly, or they are living in fantasy land convincing themselves that life is grand under JO's watch. They also may be good guys, but if he's not worried about being furloughed, I hope he doesn't carry that idea with pride. They are many other pilots that have been underbid by Mesa, partly due to inferior contract conditions. $1.20 hour per diem. F that. 2.5% 401K match. F that. 8 days off reserve. F that. 190 rates. You get the picture.

And with those 190 rates and contract conditions, not is Mesa severly undercutting the so called "regionals", but also the legacy and large national carriers.

He’ll probably see the light once he moves on. He’s in the hiring pool at a major freight company now. That could be why he doesn't talk bad about it, he knows it's behind him.

I don't see why so many people think all Mesa pilots are tools. Only 78% of the non-probationary May 2003 pilot group and everyone hired thereafter are tools. Oh yeah, and Duane Worthless for signing the POS that has caused the destruction of the pilot profession as we know it!
