Yeah, it seems we are failing in the training department on pushing pilots through sims on the Ejet.

Problem is alot of Ejet FO’s are now needing AQP, remember the backlog last year on Ejet training, all those Ejet FO’s that were sitting now hitting their 6 month mark as they only started coming off IOE in the beginning of the year

Same problem going to factor into Ejet Captain upgrades, the lag in Ejet FO’s hitting the line, now those pilots are behind in getting the required minimum 1,000 hours to be even eligible to upgrade. I reckon the Ejet Captain upgrade gonna be quick for awhile unless Captains don’t move on.

Is Mesa worth considering?

I hope to be ready to go to the regionals by next fall, I currently live less than a 15 minute drive from IAD. I just remember hearing some bad things about Mesa in the past, but from my point of view, it seems you all are turning things around? It’s attractive seeing all of the new E175s and a big route map which looks nicer than CommutAir or Air Wisconsin.

IAD is a CRJ base, you’ll get it in training and have no reserve. The CRJ flying there is mostly northeast, similar to the two you mentioned. However next year it could be an E175 base if Mesa gets those E175SC’s United recently ordered to replace 700’s in their UAX feed.

If United is your goal, you might go fast in Commutair’s CPP then Mesa’s. We haven’t heard of one getting hired by our CPP yet, let alone an interview.

Mesa is not as bad as people say, it’s a 121 boot camp, get in and get out.

That’s what I was wondering too, if Mesa will replace the CRJs with the newly ordered E175s. I guess we will have to wait and see!

I think flying for United would be great. But I’ve heard it’s hard to get hired by UA even with the CPP, especially if you don’t have a degree. So I’m trying to not be too picky, I be fine with working for JetBlue too.

You might consider Republic out of DCA. Ask about how long to hold DCA and how long to upgrade to CA at DCA. They have the best reputation in the DC area.
