But historically speaking, I tend to agree with you. A few years ago you really had to have some ability and motivation to complete that program and get a job at Mesa...then it took 4+ years to meet captain mins.
The problem NOW is that the standards are much lower, ie pass the credit check. I saw some useless punks with real attitudes coming on line when I was still at mesa, but at least THEY had to interview. The MAPD grads today go directly to new-hire class, they don't even interview them.
Like GIA, you can definately buy a job at mesa today.
I know a guy who did 'buy' a job at Mesa, but he was recently sh#t-canned. So at least they have the balls to fire you if you're too much of a punk on the line. If you worked there, you might know who I'm talking about actually...
