Mesa Airlines

DLP, you are so funny...BI is b i t ch .

They could have complied in discovery with those numbers marked off (which they did later).
Have a great holiday weekend everyone, especially our vets/military men and women.

They reversed the paycheck? Usually they don't do that without a valid reason, any company for that matter. And remember, when you sign up for direct deposit you did give them the authorization to take money back. Check the ADP pay stubs and see whats up.

Hey Lauren,

I knew instantly what BI stood for the thing that I think is funny is that this forum won't let me use words like maggot!

Lauren,

Another rejection yesterday was dung!

Lauren,

It's me again and the third word was starts with an su--ing!

Well there you go, I guess it was the order of my three words!!! LOL I was rather confused as to why I couldn't use them they are all in my Holy Bible! And today just one at a time they all except the ck in my third word passed. Not to mention that they allowed some moron to call DLP a di--head the other day, go figure!!!

cleveland???? don't get it

Lauren,

I was trying to make a comment yesterday that "Messa" (DLP) was nothing but a bunch of d (word from above) s (from above) maggots! I don't know if you'll be able to put it together or not. Have a great rest of the long weekend!!!

i did. but they had it de actavted and to rest the password or anything along those lines you have to have an email sent to you and it has to be to a mesa email. they are totally trying to screw me.
trust me i am trying to give them the benifit of the doubt and they dont deserve it.
i call my sup today and he gave me te wrong email addy to get in contact with payroll.. they are such a joke.
now i have to wait until Tuesday because of the long holiday.. mean while i have written my rent check which will now bounce.. how freakin lovely..
no one can help me at the corp number- they say wait til Tuesday

yeah i can really enjoy a weekend with this hanging over my head..
and go on living my like without the 900$ they still owe me.. not to mention i am still owed 1 more check after that... so there really is no excuse for why it was done

The ADP thing can't be reset by mesa, and i can't be screwed with by them. I still have access and i quit in Feb. ipay.adp.com/iPay/index.jsf is the site you need to go to. Have you ever signed up for the ipay? if not then you DO need mesa to get into it.

Yep...I flew for 17 years and now am confined to bed at least half of the month...my hands, hips, every joint in my body hurts...no, KILLS. I was getting through the workday on meds...ended up reliant on meds...now have to take methadone, cymbalta, and xanex thanks to the stress of 9=11...and I am not the only one.
It broke my heart to quit...don't believe anyone will give you long term disability...joke.
So, if you are an American Gladiator go for it, but if you want to ruin your immune system, marriage, (f/a's and pilots have a very high divorce rate}...go for it...if no, buy a ticket~
Also...forget the RJ airlines...go for a biggie..Delta, United, Virgin...the pay is double..and flying ONE leg trans con rather than 8 legs a day is much better. Trust me...
From my bed. Kiwi

thank you Kiwi for helping to get the word out. you are so right! and you are Not the only one as i also sacrificed my health, my life and sometimes i think my very being for the 'joy' of flying. i got LTD but after 12 months they force you to apply for ssi which is only about $650/mo and i don't know anybody that can live on that amount. my med bills were close to $400,000 and even with insurance it will take years to pay off my share. i'm working again with limitations but life will never be what it once was. thank you for sharing. i have posted many times about the health risks of flying. i too thought i would never know what it was like to be out of bed but my goal was to get my life back and even though it's really tough, day by day i can achieve a little more. my best wishes for your recovery *hugs*

Just an FYI

LansingFlyer in Sterling, Virginia said: As a curent FA for Mesa -- you don't make $17,000 the first year! Try $10,000 the first year. Then taxes & they charge you hundreds of dollars for uniforms taken right out of your check.

haha yeah I work for Trans states Airlines and I make $12,000 a year. . .deducted is uniforms and union fees. But it's really just a notch- just ONE NOTCH better than Mesa.

MESA AIR GETS NASDAQ NOTIFICATION THAT IT FACES DELISTING
NASDAQ has notified Mesa Air Group Inc. that it faces delisting for not filing its quarterly financial report on time, the Phoenix-based carrier said Thursday. Mesa alerted NASDAQ on May 13 that it would delay filings its 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31 until on or about May 20. The company has since pushed its filing date to June 2, which precedes a hearing before a NASDAQ listing qualifications panel. Shares of Mesa slipped a fraction Wednesday to close at 50 cents a share.

This is frome market watches website

On a side note. Done with my IOE, i'm qualified on the Dash 8 and start reserve Monday.

With MDT its hard to tell. Its an old allehgany base. The joke is to even get into the base someone has to die. I'm I think 43 with 35 hard lines. So I could have a build up soon.

After reading all these comments I am now depressed by all the negativity. I nonestly love my job. I am currently a flight attendant for mesa located in Chicago and I leave for Charlotte next week... the pay is not the best but the benefits of traveling are wonderful. I'm able to go home every week to Atl, GA... also, we are seriously, not over worked. The key to his job is just to be flexible and keep positive.

Hi! I'm happy, finally someone has said good things about Mesa Airlines. I would really want to talk to someone like you, if you may, please give me your email address. Thank you.

Judy in Albuquerque, New Mexico said: Yes I'm new to this field.
I was very nervous going to the open house.
They are wonderful and make you feel great.

How do you go about applying to be a fa? how long did it take to get a response once you did apply?

Displaced Legal Professional in Denver, Colorado said: Not-taken-advantage-of: "After reading all these comments. I am now depressed by all the negativity. I honestly love my job. I am currently a flight attendant for Mesa located in Chicago and I leave for Charlotte next week... the pay is not the best but the benefits of traveling are wonderful....."

You would not be depressed if you felt as strongly about Messa as you claim. Perhaps there's a shred of truth about some of what you read about Messa and it hit home.

"[W]e are seriously, not over worked...."

So why do so many Mesa FAs say they are overworked? Why has at least one ex-Mesa flight attendant written about his battles with Crew Tracking?

BTW Messa pays its crew trackers the magnanimous sum of $10 per hour plus bonuses. You'll certainly get rich quick on that money.

"The key to his job is just to be flexible and keep positive."

No, the pay is definitely not the best and it may be nothing if Mesa goes into bankruptcy.

Why delude yourself into being positive when so many other, better airlines that treat people well and pay well are hiring?

I'd love to read your comments about Messa in a few months, that is, if it still is in business.

Well, first off... I was not LITERALLY "depressed" about the situation. second... many mesa flight attendants may have been over worked, however that is probably the reason they are hiring? hmmm. yah. and another thing about those poor taken advantage of FAs... well, all I have to say is know your contract, know your contract, know your freakin' contract. AND yet, again, I like mesa, I love my job. :)Good day.

my e-mail is lkeyzie@gmail.com

Ahhheeemmm, let me explain missy, first of all they are hiring constantly cuz they can not keep good help!!! I started with 26 in class, 16 passed and like 3 were flying three months later and none by the end of 1 year!!!! Hmmmmmm yah and another thing, when did you ask the union to represent you?? They hung my a** out to dry when I asked them to follow the contract and if you think they will back you....think again!!! They are all in the back pockets of the supervisors and that is their interest....not what that paper they give you called a contract, it isn't worth the paper it is written on!!!! Put that in your juice box and su ck it my friend!!!

Not-taken-advantage-of, thank you for your post. I am scheduled to attend Mesa training starting on the 11th. I admit, I didn't read all 2000 plus of posts on this subject, but it's safe to say that the majority of people really don't like Mesa. However I have no experience, and Mesa is taking a chance on hiring me. And believe me, I applied at dozens and dozens of airlines, and most didn't respond. I'm looking forward to this opportunity. I'm going into it knowing that it's not going to make me rich, and that I won't be skipping through the tulips and tootin' a happy song the whole time. It's a job... it's supposed to stink sometimes. Anyway, just wanted to say thanks and I'm glad someone had something positive to say. It eases the anxiety a bit. Hopefully I will be one of the people like you who really likes my job with Mesa. It's at least worth a shot since none of the other airlines seem interested.

Hello,

I went to my interview with Compass and it went great I am very excited about it and I went to take the drug test and got fingerprinted so I hope that is a good sign that I am going to get the offer hmm what do you guys think :) Thanks in advance

to Brooks, having no experience is a Plus when hiring fa's. most airlines prefer to train you 'their' way. i don't know when you sent applications out but keep in mind that some employers take up to 3 months to reply. most require that you be at least 21 years old. in this forum i don't believe it's a matter of liking or not liking Mesa... it's a matter of caring for a fellow human being that might be considering working for a company without knowing all the facts first. i have never worked for Mesa so i'm not a disgruntled employee blowing off steam - i am familiar with them however and can't see working for a company that doesn't support their employees and pays poverty wages. please take the time to read the various posts on this forum and those for other airlines before making the leap. we now live in age of unlimited information at our fingertips... so take advantage of that instead of wasting time choosing the wrong job.

KenD FA in Training for GoJet Airlines in Chicago, Illinois said: yes sir it was
Rosmont IL, to be exact

Hi,
I have an interview with GoJet on the 17th of June at 9am. DO you know if they are still hiring for the July 2 training class or for future training classes? I was supposed to tart training for another carrier on the 30th of May and they called on the 29th to cancel training class. Do they provide study packets before training and do they fly you into training?

Thanks

LOL I get emails to my iPhone to inform me of new indeed post about Mesa and when I read through them I'm so shocked to read about ppl who are still wanting to join Mesa it's amazing. Anywho congrats and yes I believe that there hiring for July 2nd class. If your hired they give you the study info. They asked use to get to training ourselfs, due to people being stuck at airports and arriving late or days late for class from them booking. Now they just ask use to take Amtrack train or buy a ticket. Which only cost me 65dollars. Where is your interview at? I am sure alot of people will be there, I had alot show up at my group session. Anywho goodluck. Ooo I gave some tips and what to expect during the session a page before or maybe the same page you found that post. Again goodluck

also hello to DLP, Noel, ATL, Sam, and Mr. Timothy LOL hopefully everyone is doing good I think Noel is gone for training now...

wow spelling errors
I meant to say
they told us we could use Amtrack train or buy an airline ticket.
an I only paid 65dollars for my air fare..
Sorry for the errors it's me speeding while typing. : )

Did they give you a study packet and do you think I could get into the July training class if I interview on the 17th of June?

Sorry I just read your reply. I am interviewing in Chicago. I turned down a May interview because I thought I was going to training for the other carrier. I sure do hope I get th job and get into the July class. I received an email this morning from Eileen Plante stating she is looking forward to meeting me. She remembered me from the May session. I was also hired with United and they too cancelled classes. I am anxious to get started and I don't want to wait any longer for training. Do you think if I do start training in the July class, I will have time to study the packet. The other carrier gave us about 4 weeks because we have an announcement test scheduled the first day and city codes was test 2 the next day. I did all that studying for absolute nothing and let's not forget about the money I spent making sure I had everythng they requested for training. All information is greatly appreciated.

Thanks A Million!

yes I received a training packet.
As for you making my class July 2nd, I really don't know.
I don't wanna tell you one thing and you get there with your hopes up and they tell you somthing different.
I will tell you this I asked for July 2nd training date because I had alot to do before May 29th. So I wanna say yes you should get July 2nd but again who knows? Go and enjoy yourself, honestly this gives you more choices. Go to the group session and let us know how it went.
kenD

The annoucement test isn't the first day for us, only city codes/states an city name. You have to know how to spell the city and state correctly as well as know the 3letter code. Fairly easy and you have to know the 2 letter code for the airlines, all of them and that's it for the first day test. So yea you'll have time I learned it all in three days its only 107 cities/codes then make sure you can spell the city right and you know the state and how to spell that right as well.
like this
Albuqerque - ABQ Mexican see this is wrong because state is wrong of course
Now
Austin, Texas - AUS correct
So know it all state, city and the code

Thanks for all the responses. I hope I don't ever sound like I'm trying to disrespect your opinions. I guess i should have clarified... I didn't read all 2000 posts, but I did read hundreds of them. I read several pages and I do get the warnings, but I kinda skipped over some of the chatty ones that weren't about Mesa, and some of the bozo posts that made little to no sense.

To answer your questions, I don't know why other airlines haven't responded. It hasn't been 3 months, I know that. i figured it was because I was in marketing for the last 8 years and don't have a lot of customer service experience. I know nothing is wrong with my resume because when i was applying for another marketing job I got dozens and dozens of responses. And most of the airline jobs I applied for I had to fill out an online application (loooooong applications) instead of sending a resume. I'm 29, so I'm not too young. In all honesty, the reason I "chose" Mesa was because it was the only airline doing an open house in the Dallas area. I figure with the airlines making cut backs left and right, it's kinda hard to get your foot in the door. I'm hoping Mesa will be a good starting point and learning experience for a long career in flight attending. If I enjoy working with Mesa, then cool. I'll stick around. If it's as horrible as you guys say, then when I quit, at least I'll have some experience and maybe that will help me get hired on elsewhere.

I know how bad this might sound, but I'm really desperate to be a flight attendant. I've wanted to for years and years, but never had the freedom in my life that the job requires. Now that I'm here, I'd work for Satan Airlines if they'd just let me fly. I'm grateful for any oppurtunity to work with any airline, just so I can finaly do what I've always wanted.

Is GoJet Airlines hiring for the balance of the year 2008?

How do you apply?
Email, fax or just call them to schedule an interview?

www.gojetairlines.com. They do not provide transportation to the interview. The website will just about answer all your questions and there is also a number for you to call. I hope this help!...Goodluck

Thank you for answering my questions.

Also, is it a good time to apply as a Flight Attendant career or is better to wait?

Hello everyone,

After an interview if they send you to get drug tested and get finger printed is that a good sign that u got the job and they just waiting for the results?

hi guys do any of you know whick airlines are hiring i live in nj so does anyone know any airlines by ewr that are hiring???

If you've never worked for an airline and during the interview you are asked a situational question concerning a pax, how do you answer that properly? At one interview I was asked how I would treat a pax that was disrespectful to me and I replied, with respect. I have an interview coming up in a week or so and really want to nail this. KenFA with GoJet, I really would like your input on this one. Thanks.

Hmmmm with a question like that just wanting know how the pax will affect your day and how well you can handle stress. Now for the Gojet interview there were about 60 to 70 people. They only need 6/8 of you guys some times more must of the time less. They will ask you to standup in front of the class and the recruiters ( note there were five at mine ). And they want you to answer why them? Why do you wanna be a flight attendant? And a little about yourself. Easy right? Not really they know why your there and that your serious, there really looking for how relaxed you are, how you present yourself, how well you speak if its clear, loud etc..., how you look meaning do you look the part do you fit the profile they want, and did u say or do somthing that they remember to write down your name? Because again there our alot of people there, then finally comes how well you answered the questions in front of everyone. Hope this helps

I guess I'm just worrying over the actual situational questions involving airline policies, afterall, having never worked for an airline, I wouldn't know what the correct response would be. I can look the part, public speaking is not a problem and I'm pretty personable. If a passenger is unruly, isn't there a policy in place that you learn in training? If so, then wouldn't a proper response be that you would do exactly as you were told to do under the circumstances, following FAA guidelines for passenger safety, while maintaining proper decorum for an FA in a customer service industry?

One more... When asked, "why this airline"... How about if I say, "you're interviewing, you have a base where I want to be and I just want to work as a FA"....

just kidding. That's just one of the questions I'm working on prior to my interview and it's taxing my brain.

LOL Brenda if you answered a question like that, the one with the FAA guild lines, I would think your great with the google. Honestly I answered like you said at 1st with respect an I explained why rudeness has no effect on me or my day. Now I'm sure they hear the FAA answer all day, be different you wanna standout not blend. Now about the why gojet question that's easy, here I said I love the routes, and I love the fact that there's two flight attendants to the plane unlike others, I said ive flown with them an there flight attendants were great!, I said ive only heard good things about the company and that rep. To me says alot, I finished this question with saying I love the fact that the company is fairly new and with my past Exp. I could only help them grow as well as continue the great rep/customer service that they have at gojet. I said that all for just that one question.

Good answer to why GoJet. Mind if I borrow parts of it? The FAA answer to the pax question was just something I'd want to say. Can you imagine these questions and answers....
1. What would you do if a pax demanded a different seat and there were no others...
A: direct him to a seat in the terminal.
2. What would you do if your co-FA wasn't doing his or her job?
A: Have a screaming hissy fit right then and there.
3. How do you handle a screaming baby?
A: Slap it and give it something to cry about.

Think I'd get hired? Have a great day.

thats what were here for to help each other out u can have the answer if you like

Hmmmm Brenda i love your style it reminds me of me, thats the way i wanted to answer the question but well you know why i couldn't..
if a pax asked for a different seat and there were no others wow he's dum cant he see there's no others, anywho i'll tell him/her that all the seats are full with customers who bought their tickets and arranged their seats. If he's un happy with the seat his choices are take his seat or wait standby for the plane. There's nothing more we can do sorry.

Problem with a co-FA not doing there job
sh** i dont care but i would say this
After the plane landed i would pull she/her to the side and explain to them that i was a FA down and had to do most of the work if this happens again i would report he/she
then i said it isnt good to have it out in front of customers its makes the company look bad and should never happen.

screaming brat yup yup hit it yes i said it nah for reals
hmmmmmmm
i would kindly walk over to he/she and ask is there anyhting i can do to help, but i would say it kindly and not in a way that makes them feel embarrassed, also i would explain in a low voice that there are passengers who are complaining and just is there anything i can bring or do to help claim the brat down

You and I should fly together. We'd get along so well.....our passengers would be scared to death to "rock the boat". They'd know to just sit there, shut up and wait until we land....

Have a wonderful day. I'm going to go search for interview help ideas...GoJet really is where I want to work so I plan on working hard before this interview.

yup yup hopefully i see you there in training
here's my email
kendallroundtree@yahoo.com
email if u have other questions
p.s DLP is the man

Displaced Legal Professional in Denver, Colorado said: Our poster, Sam, whom Compass hired, wrote that he was sent for drug testing and fingerprinting when he was interviewed.

DLP,

Thanks so much because my friends and family believe I have the job but I am not counting my chickens before they hatch lol. They said if they wasn't going to hire me then they wouldn't have spent money to send me for Druge Testing or get my Fingerprinting done so that is why I ask. Thank you so much and as soon as I hear from them I will let you know :) Thanks DLP ur sweet.

I leave for training with mesa Monday i have been going over and over the package. The annoucement are overwelming i hate to think how bad im going to do on them. Can someone tell me whats on the first test. Help!
