Hey dumbasses, check out when i made this. Back then, pilots were still making decent money. And those figures were the most mesa would pay for those given years. now mesa is bankrupt, and the economy is shit. I hate mesa just as much as the rest of you. You're better off working at mcdonalds.

@Outsourcingfighter not only that, but remember the prices for everything went up, but pilot pay stayed the same or got lower.

now 20 years ago, you could make an okay living for 35,000 dollar pay if you flew b/w NYC and Newark as an FO, you could afford decent living, now a days you could barely live in a Condo with that much money, not to mention other extreme costs for living, like buying food, gym memberships, GAS prices, Insurance etc etc.

20 years ago, it was ok, today no.

well, if you work at American Eagle, you're a first officer for 15 years making max 34K a year, but when you get promoted you get about 6 figures. why is it better then working at mesa, sure better pay, but AE has much better conditions to work under.

by n by, if you didn't know, those charts with first year capt pay, thats if you've been flying for a year. if your a 7 year pilot with Mesa n getting promoted next year, you start with 8th year Capt. Pay. so first year capt pay varies, never set.

What are the chances of a buyout of Mesa? It sounds as though there has been a lot of mismanagement. Now they've gotten out of a lot of their leases and other expenses because of the bankruptcy - so I would think that Mesa might be an attractive target for another regional carrier to acquire. Or what about an employee (current and former) buyout?

Add 20 day/month on the road for this crappy money and half a million debt with interest. People need to know that their pilots make less than high school drop outs but their CEO's had a 900% pay increase since 9/11. Pilots took 50% pay cuts, CEO's took 900% increase.

To the guy who posted this video, you must be on drugs. I was at mesa air website, and the salary raise you depict in the video is absolute LIE! jonathan ornstein of mesa is a filthy prick.

Im sorry, did you just say Mesa "pays off at the end". Are you out of your FUCKING mind?  Im an EX-mesa pilot who quit without another job lined up in the worst economy since the great depression because I found out how bad they were after getting hired. If you think of working for this company.... RUN LIKE HELL!!!!!
