Mesa Air Reviews

Pros

The only good thing about Mesa is the hardworking employees.

Cons

Hours are high. Pay scale is low. Expectations are high. Morale is low. No growth in sight.
Losing flying. Pay has been cut by the hours... no one can afford to live a reasonable mediocre lifestyle on the wages without living with another or with someone who helps to support them in some way or another. It's pathetic.

Pros

Gain experience and get out!

Cons

Management despises its employees! It is a horrible place to work!

Pros

Flight benefits, inter line benefits

Cons

No vacation for the 1st year, no sick days, only 5 holidays per year, expensive insurance that only covers $25k per year up to a $100k life-time maximum

Advice to Senior Management

More respect to the hard-working employees

Pros

The flight crews, ability to choose schedule once senior enough

Cons

Simply treated horribly! They NEVER have your back! It seems as though no thought goes into how employees are treated.

Advice to Senior Management

Treat us as though we are taken care of. There are so many things y'all can do that don't cost a dime. Take care of your employees, and they will give back 10 fold. This is tried and true!

Pros

Once you are off reserve you can have a little more control of your schedule and it can be flexible when you need it ti be.

The crews. Most are good people and everyone works hard together to get the job done.

Flight benefits (except for United).

Cons

Management is awful. They don't car about their employees. The health insurance is awful. They are unethical.

Advice to Senior Management

Treat your employees like the human beings they are. Give us some recognition and appreciation once in a while. Listen to your employees and open the lines of communication. We know what's wrong with the company if you listen to us it will be a better place to work where you won't have a high turnover rate and people will feel proud to work there but the way it is now everyone hates working there and it shows in people's attitudes.

Pros

There are some good people working here. If this is your first airline job.....you can ONLY go up,and improve your work environment from Mesa.

Cons

Management is the biggest road block to this being a succesful company. Worst Management in airline biz, worst Management of any company in the U. S of A.!

Advice to Senior Management

If our pilots flew our airplanes, the way you manage this company, planes would be crashed all over the USA every day. Thank GOD there is at least one profesional, moral group at Mesa, and it ain't Management

Pros

Flight Benefits, Knowledge of the industry

Cons

Horrible management, fairly low pay for a regional

Advice to Senior Management

Appreciate your employees!

Pros

The flying experience that you will gain will be invaluable and pilots are represented by the ALPA union which is a good thing.

Cons

The management just does not care about the employees. It is amazing that they are able to run an operation from day to day.

Advice to Senior Management

Employees need to feel appreciated. A simple mass email does not accurately reflect this sentiment. At least have a longevity reward program.

Pros

Flexible schedual for high senior Flight Attendants.
Or simply kiss the right backside and you can do ANYTHING you want.

Cons

Management are high school grads ONLY !!
I do not know of one member of senior management that attended college.
CEO is PROUD he only has a high school eduacation. VP is a high school grad.
That should tell you the caliber of Mesa Management. It isn't how well you can do your job. It is how fast you can get rid of your compitition !!
The best member of management Jorm Bates,,, yup,, the fired him.

Advice to Senior Management

QUIT !!!!!!! The best thing that could ever happen to Mesa Air, is to fire the top 20 people and hire McDonalds managers! At least Micky D's treats thier employees with respect.

Pros

you will get hired if you pass drug test and tell them about any criminal record... yes you can have one

Cons

everything! pay sucks, harassing calls day and night, they underpay you and cheat your paycheck. it then takes weeks to get it corrected medical is terrible, nothing is covered not even regular dr. appt.

Advice to Senior Management
