Yeah, people leaving for non training issues are not washouts. For the 8/7 class of 28, there were 2 or 3 CRJ and 3 EJET training-based resignations. That was a little higher than normal (18-20%). The average rate has only been 10% training-based resignations.

Was just informed after the 1st of the year Mesa will stop hiring for awhile. They say they will be staffed and actually fat on the CRJ, as for the E-jet, I guess they have enough in the pipeline to staff them for a bit also. FYI

By the way, how'd that whole CLT CA's downgrading to FO then re-upgrading to E175 work?

Like I care when Mesa stops hiring. I am a CRJ Captain already and it doesn't bother me one bit. Just passing along this info. If it was me, I would appreciate this information in making a decision to come to Mesa. You guys need to take a chill pill on this board.

I find that hard to believe. The CRJ maybe getting closer to being staffed but the EJET most certainly is not. By the end of December we will have around 15 airplanes online and 75 FOs on property, with maybe about 55 of those actually online, the rest still in the training pipeline. At 5 FOs per airplane, we need 75 FOs for 15 planes. Unless deliveries slow down significantly, we will be behind on staffing.
Oh I just forgot, the rest of our EJETS are going to XJT, that's why we won't need any more pilots for it. Mhmm.

If they do suspend hiring, I can't see it being for more than a month or two. I think we run out of Flight Safety entitlement training at the end of January. Maybe they need time to get our own program up and running before they continue hiring.
