What I said is true of any airline job...you have to actually make it through training to get "the job." Yes even at Skywest...

Because they already left all the info you need to show up on your class date in your voicemail.

Just keep calling and if you know someone at the company have them refer you to speed up the process. But they are busy that's all.

I'm not sure what world you live in, but not everyone gets to be an airline pilot. If you are a capable individual with a good attitude and hard work ethic then you will make it through. If you have an entitled attitude and want everything handed to you then you won't fare so well here.

As a CFI, would you put up a private pilot student for a check ride at the minimum hours regardless if you felt they'd pass with the attitude "well if you can't hack it,you should just give up on flying."

Because it saves money (lol), ya know because dropping people after extra sims is so cheap.
The only way Mesa can get enough people through the door is by literally not having any standards. A percentage of guys are competent, want to go there for bases, a perceived quick upgrade, whatever. Then there's the "others".
Whoo boy.

I for one am very glad Mesa does things the way they do--if someone can't make it through our very, very forgiving training department, they have no business flying my loved ones (or me) around in a friggin' jet--ever.
I'm seriously laughing out loud at how all the Mesa haters have such a chip on their shoulder about how we do interviews.
WHY do you care so much whether this PRIVATE company chooses to wash people out BEFORE or AFTER their hire date. WHYYYYYY?!?!?!??!

Two things are going to happen later this year:
1) Last 900s on property
2) FO staffing levels (training bubble) to account for EJet/CRJ upgrades several months out could be achieved
Unless there's a big uptick in attrition or an acceleration of EJet deliveries (which could happen), base hopping might not work.
I'm just saying be cautious when doing that--the current pace of FO hiring and growth can't last forever, and "oh it's just LAX for a month brah" can quickly turn into months, years, lifetimes.
YMMV//just IMHO

If Mesa were my company, I'd be asking several questions. Why is there an incentive to waste money and resources on candidates that have no right being there in the first place? Is this waste characteristic of other parts of their business plan? Does the company care so little for their people that they risk putting a black mark on your career forever as a ploy to attract as many applicants as possible? In what other ways is the company putting all the risk on my future career and my certificates that all the other cheerleaders are hiding?
My question here is, why do you all immediately come to the defense of Mesa? You are allowed to have a critical opinion and one that is not fed to you by recruiters and managers. It's healthy and might actually eventually lead to contract and QOL gains.
