Mesa Air Travel Benefits

Dose anyone know Mesa Air Group travel benefits and when do they start when you are hired?

Are spouses, eligible dependent children, and parents of employees may eligible as well for flight benefits?

As a former Mesa employee, travel benefits began 6 months after employment began. Spouses, eligible dependents and parents of the employee were eligible for flight benefits.

As a disclaimer, this was true as of my last day in Aug 98. So, it has been quite a few years since then, so I would certainly verify that information if possible with a current employee.

I work for another United Express carrier, and our benefits started 2 weeks after employment began for United flights. I think US Airways is right away, or probably close to it. And yes, children, spouse, and parents get benefits. Parents have to pay a $25 service charge with US Airways for each segment, and enrolled friends (person of your choosing for single employees) will run into some taxes. The IRS sees that as a taxable benefit, so a value is assigned to each flight (depends on a lot of things) and while you don't get charged that, your taxes are based on wage + value of flights taken by enrolled friend, rather than just your wage. So $100 in imputed income as it's called could lead to $30 less in your paycheck because of taxes.

Thanks for the info
