Just curious if he resigns from training at mesa, how would that be looked on his PRIA? Compared if he leaves after say the checkride or IOE?

I don't think there is a PRIA unless one passes or fails their checkride or is terminated. A resignation is not a pass or fail. Maybe someone else can elaborate.

Considering I live in La and want to stay close, what would you guys do. Also, consider the fact that i can pick up a type and fly a line for about 3 months with mesa prior to getting in with Skywest in Dec.
Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance....

Ok dude, if you're able to be hired by Skywest, then why are you even at MESA??????? Anyways...... If you want to stay in LA or reasonably close take Skywest. You'll never be able to see West of the Mississippi at Mesa unless you've been there at least a year or more. Prop systems aren't hard at all there is just isn't as much logic as the jet and more memory items/limitations not a big deal.

EJECT!! EJECT!! EJECT!!

First off - go for the NOW class in the Brasilia...why? Seniority is everything. Those 40 numbers could mean the difference between being on the street and flying a jet at a later date.

I don't know what your flying background is like but I'd probably assume you're a low time pilot. If so, you could probably use some "real" flying before you get back to a CRJ. The CRJ is cake. Besides..you don't want to be a "Glass Baby" do you? Go make some noise and enjoy "BETA"!

Secondly - If I remember correctly, you have to finish training in order to be bound by the Mesa training contract - no? If you don't start the SIM, then there really isn't any true loss by Mesa. I think you might get a "get out of jail" card in that scenario.

In the case of a resignation during training, there most certainly IS a PRIA report...in this case it will show good training performance followed by a resignation.

The new employer will be fine with this...THEY know why you resigned. Future employers will see that you immediately started at another company without time for a job hunt/interviews, so they should not think you got fired.

People leave regional (even major) groundschools all the time..most of the industry hires at the same experience level based on supply & demand, so people who get hired usually have other interviews going on.

Where you might want to be careful is if you had trouble in training...if your training records show any significant difficulties, then it might appear as though you were told to resign or be fired. If you have a black mark, you might want to stay and finish just to avoid having that perception follow you around forever.
