They came in too high on the landing and had to go-around. As they asked the tower to do a right 360 back to final on 19R, you could here gear warnings and overspeed warnings been transmitted along with their sheepish request for the 360 as they said they had 38 soles on board!
All I am saying is, that AA that MD-80 droped an engine after hiting a goose 2 years ago in ORD didn't have to try 2x's at landing. Experience does count.

The one where you power up a 757 without retracting the spoilers, and then smashed into a mountain in Columbia as a result, killing everyone?
Or the one where you smash the rudders left and right upon entering wake turbulence, and send the entire aircraft down into Queens?
Or the one where you land in a thunderstorm at LIT and kill dozens?
Oh right, that experience!
Grow a brain. What matters is the Mesa pilots came back and landed safely.

Okay folks. I'm not a moderator, but lets keep the pooh tossing to a minimum, huh?
How about we agree that the crew did a decent job in getting the plane back on the ground?
Every airline out there has their share of bone heads. Most have had more than a few stupid moments that lead up to injuries or death. Digging up past accidents does nothing but breed sour attitudes and steps on the memories of friends and family lost.
We all have our own opinions about low time pilots/hiring, certain companies, and other particulars of the industry, but lets try to keep things above a mudslinging kindergarten level, huh?
We're all professionals, regardless of how much time/experience you have. We all pass the same checkride at the end of training. Let's act like it and have a bit of respect for OURSELVES...

Just to throw it out there for Mesa's sake - I've been through both Mesa and SKYW training and I can say one thing...More boneheads made it through SKYW training than did Mesa - They have a pretty tough training program....At least in the DH8 -

well you are right...but you need to look at the big picture...all the facts
i would be one to make the comment that you will get only a handful of pilots to pass when a majority have less that 500 and hell some even 250...
just speaking the truth brotha

Could it be that you "perceived" it to be easier? This because you had much more experience the second time.
