My guess is that most jet regionals will want to see some flying history after the accident before they consider you. Maybe dust off the instructor ticket?
Plenty of pilots get hired at all levels with an incident in their past, it all depends on the details and your attitude towards it (what did you learn?). If you did something REALLY careless or dumb (like knowingly & blatantly busting regs), that would be worse than an act-of-god wind gust in the flare or something.
AMR of all the airlines would be the most likely to deny you for ANY kind of history. They are silly about that kind of stuff, but they are also desperate right now...
I REALLY hate to say this but I'm sure mesa would hire you...just plan on leaving in a few months so Ornstien doesn't get his money's worth out of you.
