Reasonably attractive base options as well.

Not to mention the training is so easy that a blind deaf and dumb monkey could pass.

Well, why did YOU come here? Why did YOUR class mates come here.
If your ****ed that people keep coming here, you mister 5-month'r are part of the problem!
Not to mention your incoherent rambling about not flying on reserve, which if you know the slightest thing about how an airline works - is a GOOD thing. Wait til you're a line holder and want to drop or swap stuff. Lots of RSVs is a GOOD thing - your request will be approved.
YOU are in the base you wanted within five months of being hired. (PHX) When I was hired you had to be here atleast 8 years to hold PHX as an FO. It took me almost a year to get the base I wanted at RAH.
Why don't you quit, go to RAH or G7 or XJT, come back, then report to us what it's like to be at a REAL sh*tty airline with zero movement on the FO side. Where it takes 12-18 months just to get off FO RSV - not to upgrade..
Your complaints come across as a whiny ignorant FNG who is out of touch with what your peers in this industry are dealing with.

I don't get you - you're a August 2014 hire - so you just came to Mesa five months ago, yet you ask a question about how will Mesa get new hires like a 12 year CA who is out of touch with the new hire crowd.

Bitter? Maybe 10 years ago but I guess you missed the "water under the bridge" statement so you won't be seeing me crying in my Sapporo here in Tokyo on my layover. And my bias has always been towards my fellow union pilots irrespective of where my wife works.

I have a serious question. Please submit only helpful answers.
How does Mesa keep attracting new pilots?
Pilot pay is one of the worst.
Per Diem is the worst.
Upgrade times are not always certain.
No per Diem during training.
Please add your educated, professional and mature answers.

Started looking at other regionals based in IAH which is Mesa, and Skywest. Mesa was more appealing than Skywest for many reasons. Chief among them was the direction Mesa was going since restructuring. Skywest management was busy playing the ASA and XJT pilots against each other while the non-union Skywest pilots were sitting on the sidelines showing no interest in organizing to put an end to the nonsense. No thanks!
That left Mesa and the rest is history as they say.

TL;DR : Don't even try to lump TSA with Republic or Mesa. Not a close comparison.
Mesa is attracting new hires buy quoting upgrade times and shinny jet syndrome. I am not trolling and Mesa has a good pilot group and I have friends there, buti have to correct this misconception that TSA and Mesa are equivalent.
