Nice work.

Let me ask this question then. Since Mesa is hiring, according to your superior judgement, sub-standard pilots will you be electing to never sit in the jump-seat on Mesa again?

Just asking, I mean because if you're insinuating they're unsafe or something!?!?
I didn't sit there and smile when he told me that... I told him he's lucky he's still flying at all, let alone with a 121 carrier... What I am pointing out is that they're hiring guys that most other airlines (minus G7) wouldn't touch.

Did I ever say sub standard pilots? No, I didn't. They're hiring guys that have made sub standard decisions ie 2 DUI's

So why again are you posting on this thread Slats? It doesn't seem you are contributing much to the conversation.

You don't see me posting on Skywest threads. But then again I don't walk through the terminal on a 100 degree day wearing my aviators, hat and blazer. Not my cup of tea...

With their cute little Skywest name tags.. They are practically Delta's brainchild..

haha no offense Slats. I am totally agreeing with your previous points, but I can't help but give SKYW a little **** now and then.

I think saying an FO got hired with two DUIs and after losing his medical is incredibly relevant.

Also, since when is a cockpit the "cone of silence?" It's not like conversations are being recorded...

I did it without per diem and with out a hotel and guess what it can be done! You are correct we do only have 11 days a month off, and there are days you have to work from 6:15am-8:30pm but the are not the rule. Most days are from 6-2 or 2-8. Yes there are a lot fatigue calls because of those 6am-8pm days, those days suck period. If you need to call in do it, you shouldn’t have to but yes they build some crappy lines with those days built in. I’ll give that one to you. Your next point is rent, again your TDY please don’t talk about things you have no experience with. Rent, if you want to live within a few blocks of Waikiki is going to be high. I’ve seen 1 bedroom without kitchens for over $3000 a month near the beach! If you move inland just 10-15 blocks rent drops off to $750-$850 even below is not unheard of. I’ve lived in Arizona myself and I paid $750 for an apartment and it was more then a few blocks from the ocean. Next time you talk about rent look at places in Salt Lake, Ewa Beach, and Waianae THEN tell the world all you know about renting in Hawaii.
They should make a reality TV show about you with Bear Grylls.

Oh boy... I miss those days with "The Juice" and "Saaborowski" Burning up the Mesa forums like SLATS does. Turns out, those guys were at Colgan....guess where they Went next? You guessed right, they went to "Silver" which must be better right?

So ive got Skwest Bro F/O...a couple tran states guys ...a guy named CBreezy who doesn't even have 1500 hours yet. Just getting an idea of credibility in these forums.

Slats I'd be careful throwing out that DUI stuff. Even on a forum board I think it's a bad idea....to even attempt to stereotype a pilot group like that or even provide a stigma is flat out libel/slander I'd like the mods to please lock or remove Slats from this forum. Incredibly offensive!!! Skywest guys please reel in SLATS I know he doesn't represent you at all.

Just lock it out.

Question. When you guys applied and got the email asking you to send date and time available for a phone interview, how long did it took for the recruiter to call you guys? I got the email 3 weeks ago and still nothing...
