Of course this doesn't apply to everyone going to Mesa, but it does seem that some people have a strong aversion to interviewing whether that be fear or nerves and willingly choose lower pay to avoid it.
Agreed. It's just too easy to get a job here. I'd have to jump through more hoops to work at Arby's than I did to get a job flying a 76 seat airliner.
No interview attracts the hobbyists who would be willing to come fly big jets for free just cause it's "fun" and "cool".
Edit: Heard from a check airman today that new hire quality is going to hell in a hand basket and attrition is starting to pick up quite a bit. Anyone who doesn't realize Mesa is on the verge of trouble is either clueless or impressively naive.
