Mesa does work with you during training and give you multiple opportunities to perform to standard, so it's not like one unsat gets you fired, like an interview-style sim ride.

It is semantics. Obviously you are an employee during the first year, so your interview doesn't last for a year. On the other hand you are on probation so you need to behave yourself and put your best foot forward. I believe this is the same approach most airlines take.

Some in our class will start IOE within a few days after finishing sim. Others will be waiting a little bit.

Well, it depends on your aircraft assignment, the availability of check airmen, your seniority in class and when you get done with sim in comparison to your classmates. So in other words: hard to say.

I know this is a stupid question and some smart ass is going to say something, but how is seniority amongst your class decided?

I have met those who haven't regretted it and those who have. It really all depends on what your expectations were when you showed up to class and what your expectations are after being here a while. That coupled with the timing of your arrival on property can make all the difference. So long as you know what you are getting yourself into and the nature of the industry and the way regional airlines do business, then managing your expectations should be a lot easier. Mesa's big thing is try do things as cheaply as possible. That will often explain the answer to the inevitable "why does Mesa..?" questions that come up.
