Socal-
I have been at Mesa for roughly 5 months. I have enjoyed myself during my time here. I fly the -8, and love it. The captains are great, the overnights even better (durango, vail, aspen). I have never sat reserve, and have 14 days off this bid.
From what I understand, they are running a Air Midwest new hire class this summer, but don't know if that is you guys or not.
Enjoy training, study, but don't kill yourself doing so. Be sure to visit Tempe one night for some refreshments and a look at some amazing women.
Keep a good attitude, and enjoy yourself. Don't let the posts on here discourage you. If you do, it will truly poison your spirit and you will become unhappy, bitter, condecending, and all knowing as so many on here are.
