I was hired by a phone interview. Prior 121 expirence before Mesa. And no I really don't think their is much difference. This company has treated me the best on a day to day basis. Their pilot group is top noch group of individuals. Less stuck up than some pilot groups. They are safe efficient, and don't ***** nearly as much. And if phone interview is how they get that then so be it. I dident have to waste money on hotels and spend a week memorizing atp questions that I had forget 2 years ago.
