You're welcome. Many have done the same for me, so I'm just giving back.

I feel everyone deserves truthful information to make such an important decision? Do I recommend Mesa? Yep I do!

Of course you guys know, anything, including our new deliveries, can change in a microsecond in this industry. That said, if a person lets that fact rule over them, they'll be paralyzed. Pragmatically speaking, every person must move forward with the best information they have at the time.

I also welcome dissenting opinions.

Ouch. Speaking of ALPA, how are negotiations going?

Just joined the November class. I'm choosing Mesa because there seems to be growth here. Nothing is certain but why not take a chance?

Hey guys, glad to see Mesa is doing well. With that, can anyone tell me what is the recommended IPAD specs (memory,etc) for an IPAD for use with MESA? Thanks.

You can only use ipad 2,3 or 4 at this time. 16gb is enough but I went with a 32gb because i use it a lot for personal stuff. Also, the models with 3G/4G capability are convenient for using the net when laying over when you don't feel like paying for wifi. Pilots based in Hawaii have to use paper charts.

Sorry, this goes way back in the thread, but can someone comment on "background issues"? I was offered a position over the phone and definitely don't want to upend my life only to be sent home. Are these logbook error/speeding ticket types of issues, or more along the lines of undisclosed felony/no medical?

Um, a big plus one on this one. What issues are they looking for?

Also, three month training footprint? My current carrier I was two months from DOH to the end of IOE.

Not legal to work in the US, possibly failed drug tests on PRIA, failed mesa drug test, undisclosed checkride failures, undisclosed felonies..your logbook just needs to show that you meet atp minimums, it doesn't have to be a squeaky clean work of art.

Thanks. After hearing some of the reasons people have been asked to leave Eagle interviews, I'm worried my logbook art won't be up to snuff.
