So much for people getting off their upgrade/captain soap box.

To me, saying "I pray for all of you who are at just the minimums and I pray for the people you fly" makes Duct Mon pretty douchy. I guess if he has had first hand experience with the person to whom he was referring, then I made an assumption that was wrong.
Pilots have always crapped on those who are "just barely at the mins", forgetting that hours aren't everything, and we are all capable of screwing up.
Hopefully Mesa churns out more CA's like you, though, and that's not a joke. I'm pretty sure I've flown with you and you're top notch, so keep it up.

I agree with Tinman1. You have the right mindset. And BikingScott, gaining that experience in the winter will be invaluable. These two guys know what it means to be a professional ATP. Their upgrades won't be handed to them at the mins.
All I was saying was there are guys out there and you know who you are that think the only qualification of being a captain are the minimum requirements.

I've said this for many years. Those FO's who talk about upgrade and can't decide CRJ or E-Jet are not ready to upgrade. Most of their heads have been stuck up their .... and they haven't been paying attention to learning in the right seat. The FO's who tell me they don't think they are ready, asking me all sorts of questions, wanting feedback, are ready. They get it. You will never know everything and be perfect as a Captain. You just do the best you can.

My humble opinion is that there is going to be 3 single file lines to flow/pref interview at the majors. Jb,nk, fdx, ups on the side etc. Mesa is unfortunately caught in the middle of AA and UAL.
But like i told all the guys i flew with. Job fairs, network, etc and youll be fine. Most Mesa guys have great personalities and if they could just get the interview they would nail it. Hard part is getting it.

If you flew single pilot IFR at an outfit like Ameriflight, Airnet, or Flight Express, and have 1000 hours, you are good to go for an upgrade at Mesa at mins.
