If I ever get to the point where I feel that I need to stop learning, then I need to remove myself from the cockpit. That is a very dangerous attitude.

But I've observed his posts and he reflects that of a **** poor attitude. Some people want the world handed to them on a silver platter. I'm still trying to figure out where that world is

Just in case you somehow haven't, just a quick simple get to know you call. Start date comes at end

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.
