I do not get company lodging for AQP since I am not considered out of domicile. However I don't know what they do for upgrades since the transition course is much much longer than AQP.

So let's say that you are a PHX FO awarded E175 CA...does the company still consider you PHX based throughout the transition? I'm a PHX based commuter and am not interested in paying for my own lodging and transportation for 3-4 weeks while attending ground school. I may transfer to DFW or IAD of that is the case.
Yes, they will not put you in a hotel for the PHX portion.

I know of PHX FOs not given housing for the PHX portion of upgrade.

Yes. You will be PHX based until completion of IOE, so no lodging in PHX for ground school.

You get paid very little and it sucks. Don't talk yourself into thinking the pay will be ok. Aside from pay, it's fine.

The pay at Mesa is never going to be good. However one has to wonder why you did not think of this earlier? A very simple formula of first year pay multiplied by the minimum credit hours equaling a gross pay figure.
76 x 22 = 1672
or better yet, take first year pay rate and add three zeros
22 + 000 = Max 22,000
It's horrifyingly depressing to say the least. If you have substantial bills or a family to cover this math should should have been done a long time ago. Well before you stepped foot into Mesa's Training Facility.

Go to Piedmont. At least you have Flow, better pay, 5k signing bonus, and upgrade opportunity. If I was new, I would not be coming to Mesa right now with all the other choices.

They will. The latest Standing Bid proves it. 12 more CA for IAH planned to be online early next year so that is probably when the planes are getting delivered. When Mesa is quiet after an announcement of new planes then that means they have nothing new to announce as in a new base. So it's a strong chance they will be IAH. Maybe IAD since it already exists but I doubt it.

It's not. Nor is it limited to regionals (Frontier)

If you go OFL, do you get back your schedule for the upcoming month?

Edit: It seems so.
