I got a top 5 list from several captains who used to fly with these guys as FOs. It's the same 5 all the time (in PHX). I decided to give each a chance. Of the ones I've flown with they definitely should be on most people's. They are a holes. A couple are just not good pilots or lack decent situational awareness. Or they insist their "technique" (even if it's nonstandard) is the only way to fly and make you fly that way. I get along with most of them though. I don't keep a no fly list in my bid but I drop/swap trips with some of them if I can.

Since when does scheduling get to notify us via email? No thanks, I'll wait for the phone call...

Anyone else notice that they no longer are listing people who resigned from the rosters? Things must be getting bad if they are trying to hide how many people are leaving.
I have to agree, they can't find enough people to replace those leaving, AND for growth that they want... Perhaps we are the next RAH...

Well, I think the pilot group as a whole have resigned themselves to the idea of getting out asap, rather than waiting for the management or even our Union(same thing) to get competitive with pilot compensation. Only a few of us with zero 121 time were able to snag a fast upgrade. You're money ahead going elsewhere starting close to 40$. They are going to have to do something soon before the bleeding gets bad.

The problem is twofold:
1) Attracting new hires
2) Pilot retention
Endeavor management figured that out quickly. The quarterly bonuses satisfy both sides of that equation.

If Mesa would do what Endeavor does, I would be happy here
