MESA Pilot pay increase incentive
Mesa Airlines Announces New Pilot Incentive Program
PHOENIX – April 20, 2017 – Mesa Airlines, Inc. announced today the first location rollout of a new pilot incentive program with the goal of retaining more of these highly-trained professionals as valued employees. Mesa Airlines Executive Vice President Paul Foley stated today that in conjunction with a vendor at Dallas Fort Worth International Airport, he has secured a way to dramatically boost pilot pay under the Work While You Wait program. Foley acknowledged that for decades Mesa has had their flight crews wait up to four hours many times per week between their turns for the day and their last leg out of Dallas. During this time crews only earn $1.50 per hour per diem while lounging around the airport, and often complain that they are grossly underutilized.
“Not anymore on my watch”, says Foley, having secured a ground-breaking temporary employment agreement with the DFW Airport Qdoba at $10 an hour for any pilot. Payroll will be seamless, and pilots don’t need to take off their uniform, just throw on an apron. “Will someone please tell me where in the world can you make 566% more money per hour?” asks Jonathan Ornstein, CEO of Mesa Airlines. “We never expected our pilots to live off our wages, and this opportunity puts them that much closer to financial security plus they get a free burrito. Mesa saves by not having to pay them per diem when they work at Qdoba! This is a win-win for all involved, the pilots, the airline, and the fast food industry.” Pilots who work at least 20 hours per week and are fully qualified in both burrito and quesadilla assembly during both daytime and night, and have demonstrated the ability to operate the deep-fat frier in reduced heat mode without benefit of a QRH, will be eligible for health insurance paid by Qdoba. Pilot applicants will be required to optionally take and pass the TOEFL examination before being allowed to speak with Qdoba customers through a headset.
Dallas Qdoba employee Cindy Snow, a recent GED graduate and resident at the Tarrant County Ramper and Baggage Handler Narcotics Recovery House says, “Sup…is just so cool to be working with these pilots shoulder-to-shoulder, they are so smart with all their training about jets and knowledge of everything else in the world too, and here they are making burritos just like me.” Mesa pilot (First Officer) Roger Murdoch says, “I love flying for American Eagle, proudly operated by Mesa Airlines, but I dread flying five legs for 4:40 of credit. Now I am making six times more money instead of just sitting around in the crew room chatting up the high school girls! Thank you Paul and Jonathan, for your superb leadership in building a great future for all of us at Mesa. Next time you’re in line at Qdoba I’m going to slip you an extra lump of guacamole!”

Time to throw this out there again.
1. If you are an FO at Mesa, at a base other then PHX, and got reserve for May you either:
a) asked for it specifically
b) screwed up your bid. SEEK HELP WITH IT.
2. If you are an FO at Mesa, in PHX, and want a line. Change bases to DFW.
3. If you are brand new and want a line out of training, you are in luck. You'll get one. You just won't get any say in what it is.
