Is anyone a flight attendant for Mesa Airlines and why is it hated so much?
I just got accepted into the Mesa Airlines flight attendant training, and I have not been able to find anything that shows what my experience with Mesa will be like. I have found negative articles from October about workers demanding fair wages, but for now i'm curious to know about those 6-8 weeks in Phoenix that I have agreed to spend for unpaid training. I'm also curious about the true FA experience with Mesa Airlines. Is it as rewarding as they said it was in the interview? I can't help but to be skeptical because this is a major lifestyle change for me.

I have no first hand experience and everythign I've heard is on the pilot's side not the FA side, but for what it is worth. Bad pay, worse management, bad work schedules even for the regionals. They run a flight school that overcharges and funnels pilots in to Mesa for what amounts to indentured servitude for a few years. New F/O's start around 18 grand which is low even for the regionals.

No offense- but Mesa really does seem to hire anyone who can speak english. I was invited to training with Mesa about 9 years ago and I decided to turn them down to try for a bigger airline- and a year later I got to train with Delta and ended up working there for 7 years. Keep looking- almost any other regional airline is going to be better than Mesa. I'm surprised they are still in business- try anyone else- if you got the invite from Mesa than you are probably good to go elsewhere- getting hired by any airline is tough nowadays unless you are good. That totally contradicts what I said earlier about being able to speak english- LOL- keep looking- set your sights higher- try SkyWest or ComAir. GOOD LUCK
