Two of my friends at Mesa were approached by other airline pilots in the terminal this week. Both have been at Mesa for less than a year. The "recruiters" informed them of the $15k sign on bonus they will get if they jump ship along with $38/hr starting pay. Both are putting in their notice. The fun has just begun.

Mesa(we) is(are) screwed.
Looking at the PBS awards, quite a few CA's at DFW show their schedule as completely empty. Either they were taken off line, or much more likely, have moved on to bigger and better places. Quite a few Jr. Dfw CA's are now line holders. Did M.K. Get on with a major? When you see senior CA's and others who seemed to be lifers move on, you know the ship is sinking.

Has anyone thought of a flow or preferential interviews at a cargo outfit like FedEx or UPS?

And why not? Yes seniority is good and upgrade is good.. but as a first year FO at GoJet, you'll earn more than 2nd year YV pay with their $15k bonus for being type-rated. First year FO at TSA is more than the max FO Mesa pay. Plus they'll give you some kind of bonus (however a new type rating would be needed)
Skywest? Piedmont? Etc etc .

Do you think Mesa will attempt to enforce the $12000 pro-rated training contract? If they don't, people will really be jumping.
