At K4, they want us to use crew outfitters. I can say without a doubt, the quality is horrendous. K4’s dress uniform should be blue jeans and a flannel shirt, and in flight, pajamas, but they won’t listen to me.

I would refuse and find similar pants the Crew outfitters material is pretty itchy.

Honest question here, CRJ class coming up, looking for current info.

Any 172/ 1500 hour driver that have gone recently through CRJ training?? Would you mind to share what is the success rate. Are the instructors willing to help and mentor newbies or can you expect to be on the shopping block when you screw in the Sim? Is this doable for guys like me??

I was here recently on the CRJ and left for a major. The best advice I can give you is just keep your head in the books and avoid the gossip. The training was great and the instructors, pilot group were all awesome and i enjoyed my tenure there. The CRJ itself is a great bird and one you will miss, no matter wherever you go. They will give you all the study guides and what is required for you to pass. When i was there, in my class of 30ish, we all made it with only a few who required extra sim or two. My last advice I can give you is stay away from the radar of management and do not believe everything they say because all it is , is nothing but a sales pitch. Just get your type rating and time and move on to better things. Its the only thing that I myself came here for and it was the best thing that happened for me. Good luck.

Are you the one who’s father is an airline captain, who basically opened the door for you to get on with the major? I heard you were quite willing to tell everyone that.

Her positive attitude probably comes across better than your sour grapes ... Just saying.

YES IT IS DOABLE!!!! I'm a previous 172 flight instructor from a very large academy and I've been at Mesa for over a year now. Most of the guys in my class were either flight instructors or 135 guys. In training you will have everything you need to succeed. As far as screwing up in the sim, its normal and you will make your mistakes because that's how you learn. I know i made a mistake or two and I had my 8 sims and took the check exam and left for DFW for IOE. Your classmates will be some of your best buddies in training and after. My classmates always talk to each other and if we have questions we go searching for the answers. In the beginning if we didn't now the answers we started asking around. I've also became friends with a few captains on their way out and those people will be your contacts at various Airlines. People are always willing to help you. Don't listen to the negativity that you may read on here. Mesa is a great place to start and you will fly a ton and have close to 1,000 before your first year is up. If you have previously flown the G1000 you will have a leg up because that platform does everything the CRJ avionics can do and even more. But if not you will still be fine. The CRJ is 20 times faster but as you become more comfortable it slows down. You will do great and good luck to you. I look forward to seeing you out on the line. Oh by the way, Pay particular attention in systems. My instructor was TOP NOTCH and ask questions and save that material on your IPAD. I still have all my training material backed up and I reference that material often.

Latest Ejet trainee in the crew room. 7 months to his checkride. Not even started IOE yet. Pathetic. I am hoping this gets resolved soon.
