Charlotte, NC

Former Employee – worked at Mesa Air full-time for more than 7 years

ProsPeople, travel benefits, met interesting people, the job itself was a lot of fun. Good job to have when you're young.

ConsCompany doesn't treat employees well. Low pay, long hours, not enough rest, broken air crafts, the company was going downhill when I left.

Advice to Senior ManagementTreat employees well. Provide safe aircraft. Better pay.

Phoenix, AZ

Former Employee – worked at Mesa Air full-time for more than 3 years

ProsThe travel benefits are great. There are always co-workers who are just as geeky and nerdy about commercial aviation. Airports are non stop action and the quickest work day you will ever have.

ConsThe pay is low for anyone who needs to support a family. Great for college kids or the non bread winner of the household. Mesa is notorious for being cheap and not having the tools for employees to do their jobs effectively. There always seems to be strife between management and the labor groups.

Advice to Senior ManagementA technological upgrade for the entire industry would be nice. SHARES, SABRE and Apollo are so inefficient considering what is available today. Airlines have been profitable since 2010. Retool now while traffic is high and gas prices are stable.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

Phoenix, AZ

Former Employee – worked at Mesa Air full-time for more than 3 years

ProsInterview was straight forward, some what would you do questions and some technical. Overall it is an OK starting point but it is not somewhere I would want to stay very long.

ConsCompany is not organized, will try to take advantage of you whenever possible and pay as little as possible

Advice to Senior ManagementBe honest with your employees.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company

Phoenix, AZ

Former Employee – worked at Mesa Air full-time for more than 7 years

ProsGreat people to work with. Respectful and fun atmosphere.

ConsSchedules have become very difficult the last few years. Several benefit programs like on-time bonuses cut or removed. Early show times combined with late arrivals and large non-productive gaps in the day make for fatigued pilots and flight attendants...

Advice to Senior ManagementTreat front-line people like we have families and create decent schedules that balance work and family life better. High turnover in pilots and flight attendants is more about the quality of life than the money!

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

Charlotte, NC

Former Employee – worked at Mesa Air full-time for more than 3 years

ProsAs a flight attendant,I think the travel benefits were the best part of the job. I enjoyed working for the company for the most part.

ConsI Left the company because they were talking about letting me go at a time when I needed employment the most.To make a long story short, I was pregnant and Mesa didn't want me to follow my doctors orders but instead wanted me to be there pregnant puppet. Also The health insurance sucked for maternity services and many other things.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend
