My kid has a CRJ Nov class date and received an email offer to start in the 737 class next week. There aren't a lot of details about the 737 flying. What's the pay rate? Is the flying home based or do you need to be in SDF? What's the flying like? How is the training program?
the min guarantee would remain lower. It is pretty much all night flying. Guys have said the training is good, but no inside info on that. Really senior plane. For the most part you can’t touch it without two decades at the company until now.

Yes the little mouse in the corner of the crystal palace is saying the rates will be moving up. But why would you do it. Cutting yourself $1100 a month short at min guarantee or $13,200 a year. Don’t get 737 starry eyes🤩🤩🤩. Less pay, flying all night, 2X as long to build time to upgrade, MEM and OMA layovers, enough said. Truly no one cares what you fly other than family members, it’s about the $$$ you take home, and the hours you get so you can move on. Things in this industry can change overnight, literally

Bid your BASE. But even that rug can (and probably will) be yanked out from under you at some point.
RIGHT NOW if your goal is to get online fastest: CRJ
Fly the most hours in the shortest time: ERJ
Have the most days off, fly the least: 737
Average line values have the ERJ crews making the most money.
That’s right now.

Any pilots currently flying the 737 for Mesa willing to answer a few questions through direct message or email? Recently received a CJO for the CRJ, but I have a some questions about the 737 side with Mesa. Thanks!
