Is a Mesa Captain seat really a noticable difference between an XJT/RAH FO seat? From what my MAG/XJT/RAH friends tell me, it sounds like MAG Captains net the same as XJT/RAH FOs. If I am misinterpreting what I've been told, feel free to correct me.
Additionally, many people have gotten hired at a variety of ACMI/LCC/Legacy airlines without PIC time, so that really isn't a good reason for anyone to accept subpar wages.

You are correct that PIC time isn't what it used to be years ago. Some pilots will not necessarily need that PIC time due to many different marketability factors, while others may not be as fortunate and need all the extra experience/points that comes with PIC time.

From the info on this very website (except MAGs base pay).
L-XJT 3rd year F.O. pay --> 38x75x12: 34200
RAH 3rd year F.O. pay ---> 43x75x12: 38700
MAG 3rd year CA pay ---> 57 (50 seat base pay)x76x12: 51984
That is a rough estimate assuming these guys are on reserve and don't fly at all. It's up to you to decide if 14,000ish is a noticeable difference.
Also remember that less than a year ago RAH's pay scale was very close to Mesa's. At least I remember the F.O. pay scales were almost identical.
Either way, you don't have to be scientist to realize that if money is the number one priority in your life you shouldn't be looking at Mesa. But there are a few (very, very few) reasons and circumstances, which will make Mesa a reasonable choice. The question is: are there enough of those pilots, who can justify coming to Mesa, to keep the company running?

Hope you guys get the contract you all deserve soon.
