Yes you will be paid for the time in between too. Like someone said you don't get the check until ground school. I had 2 weeks from CTP to ground. Paycheck was a little over $2100

CRJ200s, CRJ700s, and ERJ145s are exiting.

I agree!

I hope Mesa ups their pay and treats pilots better. Going to be a lot of competition between SkyWest and Republic and Mesa for the United bid.

Mesa's management would need a frontal lobotomy to start treating their pilots better.

Two of the nicest people I know are former Mesa FOs. They would never recommend them to anyone.

They're supposed to be Horizon.

Court date is tomorrow and will likely decide Horizons future.

It's the management. I'm sure they have a great pilot group, but from the top down the approach is to save a penny over spending two that could save a dollar.

So pilots trying to gain experience they need for a legacy go with hopes of quick advancement, only to realize why the turnover is so high.

It's similar to low tier convenience store vs working at a Costco. Both will pay you but Costco offers 401k, dental etc.

I think the company fully supports that idea of people getting in and out.

Disclaimer: I realize the company doesn't treat pilots well and pay isn't great.

No disrespect intended, but you might want to, you know, become a pilot first and get some experience under your belt. This industry will be unrecognizable by the time you're ready for your first Part 121 job.

Companies like that (Mesa, GoJet, Trans States) have no regard for the pilot's career progression, they only do business in the name of being cheap.

I was told early on by a legacy pilot to not fly for a shady outfit. Yes you want to build your time and advance, but not at the cost of your career.
