Does Mesa even have the 175 on their operating Cert. yet? I highly doubt Mesa will have Ejets on property in 6-7 months as someone stated. They have to get manuals/training programs approved first, train checkairman and a whole bunch of other stuff done before they can start sending line pilots to training.
Can someone from Mesa confirm if any of this legwork has been done yet?
