Mesa Airline and Mesa Pilot Development applicants;
Trust those of us who know all too well. We want to help save you years of grief, possibly your marriages and your sanity. Go somewhere else! This airline is a sinking ship. Mesa Airlines is lying to you. Whatever they are telling applicants to recruit them is a lie. These are just the first of many lies they will tell you. Keep reading!
Mass Pilot Exodus, Low Morale Cause Concern for Mesa Pilot Leadership
50% of all Mesa pilots QUIT in 2007
The final numbers for MAG Pilot attrition for 2007 have been compiled. Total pilot attrition for 2007 was 782. This represents almost 50% of our pilot work force.
The number of Captains departing was 416 or 53% of the total. First Officer departures numbered 366 or 47% of the total.
Many of the departing pilots took the time to complete the online ALPA “exit survey”. Of the exit surveys received, 84% of the captains went to airlines with lager equipment and the remainder declined to state or left the industry. Of the First Officers who left and filled out exit surveys, 88% went to similar jobs in the regional airlines (lateral moves) and the rest declined to state their destination or left the industry.
Confused? Well don’t be. Go to our message board to find out more or watch this video here.
For non pilots visitors reading this page ask yourself one question. If Mesa’s own pilots don’t want to fly on their own airline, why should you?
