Gotta know someone on the inside or have a very good resume to get the call with no recommendation. (4 year degree from aviation school, plus ATP mins or ATP-R mins, no more than 2 busts, etc)
Lots of guys getting canned (or
given option to resign) during training, IOE or during first 6 months online. About 60-70% of guys are making it thru ground, system, and IOE.
So as guys have said before your interview is about 12 months, starting the first day of ground continuing all the way to the last day of being a probationary pilot.
Alvin Isaacs and Chuck Campbell are good good guys. Not the airline or chief pilots that were here four years ago.
They called and emailed me 3x with 2000TT, 700TPIC, 800 Multi. All 135. No degree, atp written or recs. Since they aren't screening applicants, I'm sure they get the few that have never seen a jepp approach plate, and haven't flown anything bigger than a Seminole.
I've heard Compass is becoming lenient on the degree and RATPs. Not to start a regional flame war, but I don't believe Mesa is more competitive than Compass.
