I'm not completely sure about this, but I think that most of the low time guys hired by Mesa are from MPD (mesa pilot development). Keep in mind that most of the pilots hired from MPD have been flight instructors with Mesa and probably have around 700+ hrs by the time they graduate and interview(from the ASU program anyway). They have hired guys out of MPD with close to 300tt but those are rare from what I gather. The rest of the guys that come in usually have more than that. Or they have at least been instructing long enough to tell some hilarious stories. Again these aren't definite numbers, just my observations on guys who are in the simulators, or have been hanging around to get interviewed. Its a mixed basket.
