I've heard a few whiners, flown with a couple of folks who seem to think that they should get a CA recommendation because they put their pants on correctly in the morning (fast upgrade!).
If Mr. IhateIAD is so un-enamored with Mesa, perhaps he'd be happier at PSA, there's a "me me me" pilot group that looks out for everyone (not)! I heard their training department is "top-notch" too, with a better than 40% fail rate on new-hire check rides. Sounds like the kind of place that would make "Maverick" IhateIAD happy as can be. Embrace the suck of a commute to TYS or DAY my man!
"Awww it was so hard when I went through and it took me forever to upgrade because the industry is unfair. Wahhh." Go to a real airline if you are so **** good you made it thru when it was so tough. Oh that's right, you're stuck and grumpy that life's so unfair. I'm at Mesa for a reason, which I clearly explained. Not at psa or cpz or any other regional. And I'm still coming to work every day on time and enjoy the *** out of flying. The recruiters make no bones about it...they (mgmt) want us in and out to keep costs down. Quit getting butthurt because I call it like it is and am using this company to attain my goal, no different than they are using us for slave wage labor for their goal...to grow and maximize profits. I am here voluntarily knowing it is temporary. Why are you still here? Can't afford first year pay at a major? Right. Next. Oh by the way, I still tell my friends applying to regionals to come to Mesa for the reasons mentioned in a previous post. I just ensure they make the decision with eyes wide open.
