The sad thing about MAPD's is that they paid the money and Mesa is taking 250 hour comm guys who didn't. about 2 months ago half the new hire class was 250 hour guys that just went to regular flight schools like ALL of you did. does that make them bad for taking the job? I'll let you guys fight about that one, but almost half of them failed the new hire class so I guess the #'s still speak for themselves.

I will say that I have flown with a couple of MAPD's that have been with the company for over a year and did an excellent job as far as I was concerned but I guess it's those first few months that everyone is worried about right
