Coming from a guy who had to get through Dee Dee "the axe lady" Brown..... I'm jealous! No interview? wow. So simple, even a cave man (or Mesa Pilot) could do it.

Congrats to all future flowees.

Unfortunately, "Up to" 24% of pilots at my company can still technically mean 0%. I think this is just another way to keep people at the regionals. I sincerely hope I'm wrong though. I''d be glad if it was 10%/yr realistically

Entitlement mentality. Flying the 1500 hours is nothing. It wasn't long ago most had 5,000 to 8,500 hours before getting hired.

both statements are accurate. Yes, flows are designed to be the “carrot” that keeps people at the regionals. And yes, 5k or more is/was normal new hire stats.

The fact is that there’s less folks out there that are willing to be pilots, regardless of what we all think of the cool job or lifestyle. Best way to go about it is to mentor the new generation and not be bitter about their lower times.
