I'm not sure why you think you can log hours any faster at Mesa than at most other regionals. Many other regionals are flying their pilots a lot more than Mesa right out of training.
Fact - Summer 2015 Mesa new hires have less than 200 hours logged. And most won't see a line for at least a few more months.
