TIFWIW, You know what that means right? If a class is all former 121 right now that means they are mostly washouts from other 121 training programs. 3 to 4 in every class hitting the line right now are 121 washouts who needed a second chance. Mesa was never their first choice.

It would be real spiffy if you could back up these numbers, please. I know of a few who have left other regionals in the past 3 months due to being able to fly at Mesa vs. sitting on reserve elsewhere. None of them that I know of (not that I asked, that would be unprofessional) indicated they were going to Mesa due to lower standards.
But if you have in-depth knowledge of such, it would be nice to know, might help someone make a decision.

I noticed that 2 that were chosen to upgrade to IAD CA on this last standing bid were 11/6/15 new hires. Got to be a mistake?

That's what I was thinking. How did they get two CA recommendations so quickly? Not saying they can't but I'd think a captain would want them to have a little more time before recommending them.

If you come here from another 121 and know what you're doing, it shouldn't be hard to get a couple of letters right off the bat. Case and point me.. but I held out for EJET because I live in base. I bypassed CRJ upgrade about 4 times (which was tough waiting for "potential" EJETS). Glad it paid off being patient.
