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.
PSA has a great training deprtment... At the time that that particular class (read one class) experienced that attrition rate there were a lot of new instructors and yes, training deficiencies. That was one class, one of the recent classes had something like a 98% completion rate.
