The training (Indoc, systems and sim) foot print is about two months. That's given that you go right into sims after systems and there is no wait time for sims to be available. I heard some guys were getting 2-4 weeks off (paid) after systems do to a wait for sim time.

Training at Mesa is top notch. The instructors want you to succeed, know what material is important and are there to help you.

Last I heard new hires were still staying at the sleep inn in single occupancy rooms.

This is for CRJ training in PHX.

I'm not sure about how Mesa is doing EJET training but I imagine since it's done by the same company, (flight safety STL) it has to be similar to my experience at RAH.

Training for that was about the same (two months) time frame. I wouldn't rave about the flight safety instructors too much, seemed like they were just in a hurry to cover the material and get home. You pretty much were expected to look up and figure out any questions you had on your own.

Again that was three years ago so things may have changed but definitely was very impressed by mesa's own instructors in how they teached the CRJ vs flight safety's instructors for the EJET.

Maybe Skillett can give a better run down of today's EJET training....
