My boyfriend of 4 years works for Mesa (he went from 1900 FO to CRJ FO and now he is an ERJ Cpt). I can write a book on how badly the company treats their employees and how stressful the working conditions are for the pilots and their families.

Your relationship is so new, and to be dealing with this type of lifestyle change is going to be really challenging. The fact that you will rarely see each other (thanks to Mesa's scheds I see my boyfriend 3-4 days/month) and the fact that you are still getting to know each other... well it is a tough situation.

You say you know he will never cheat... well I have been on 3 different pilot wives/girlfriends boards and honestly, you cannot be naive. There are many stories of women who thought their bf or husband would never cheat, but then it happened! Some of the stories are quite shocking. Of course cheating can happen it any industry.

I am sorry this is coming out so negative and you probably want to hear that everything will work out just fine. I apologize and hope your relationship does work out. If you need more info about Mesa, some challenges you might face please let me know- send me a PM or email.
I promise I am not a meany, just realistic.
