I'm sharing the reasons why I didn't choose Mesa for those people who are reading in the shadows and asking if anyone knows of people NOT getting hired at Mesa. If you don't think selectivity is beneficial to a company, then I suppose you'd be okay with someone with 5 or more check ride failures in the last 3 years, or multiple 121 busts.

I agree with a second chance. If you get a DUI in AZ after 3 beers, then I think you should get a second chance. If you get caught
for a second time, from a medical standpoint, it shows possible substance abuse (hence why he lost his medical) and from an aviation standpoint, an inability to make good decisions.

These are facts. This is not me trying to smear your pilot group. If you want to create a message board so you can pat yourselves on the back and only talk about how awesome your company is, then make your own message board. Until then, I will continue to share my 2 cents when I see fit.
Got news for you CBreezy. This is a numbers game. When hiring is booming busts, DUIs, etc do not matter, just qualifications. During lean times that stuff comes into play. I guarantee you are flying with guys at your present airline that have multiple busts and DUIs.

Airlines are concerned about filling seats, end of story. They will do and take whatever is needed to fill those seats.
