I find it hilarious that so many people think they can just pick the regional they want to go to. True, it is easier now than ever to do so, but lets be real, your going to the first airline that gives you the first class date, probably because you want to get your career going and getting 121 experience in your logbook.

Mesa has a lot of good people in the training department. I've heard some airlines, like PSA love to fail half the class over stupid stuff, never mind the person is still a good pilot. When you come to Mesa, the atmosphere is that of one that wants you to succeed, people want to see you pass. That alone can attract a lot of people here. It seems some airlines ego's are a little too big for their own good.
