That is the only benefit of going to mesa. If one gets their time and gets out asap that’s worth $400k on the back end of a career for every year you skip out at the regionals. Now, given the current hiring frenzy, getting hours and getting out is what it’s all about. Anyone starting at a regional should have an exit plan.

While agree covid slowed down upgrades I think you’re also seeing more senior guys who didn’t upgrade precovid trying to jump on the train now too. So we have to get through the backlog of those guys first which will be another 6 months at least.

Saw on the last SB, plenty of guys are coming down to PHX to upgrade training. At least 4 in my systems class.

I’ve been here over 2.5 years. Got awarded EJET transition upgrade in January. Finally going to class in March. There’s some pretty senior CRJ FO’s deciding now is the time to upgrade as well. As for the CRJ initial training when I went through it was pretty easy. As long as you come in prepared you’ll be fine. The airplane is pretty easy to handle. 10 sims is a lot. You’ll be prepared for the checkride.

Thanks for the insight. Hoping someone who went through CRJ training very recently has some more insight

Appreciate the insight
not true at all, MESA vets it’s applicants HARD. Our wonderful recruiting team only hires the BEST OF THE BEST. Very few do not pass training here. We have tailored our flying to be an almost “no-thinking” type job, EVERYTHING is a checklist item. Just memorize the checklists and you will be FINE
