I think the primary program is a waste of time and money, I can't believe people still go through that. The program cost like 45K and it's not even flat rate plus no CFI ratings or CFI job. Go through the PACE program. Your in-and-out and with the way MESA is hiring now, you will find a job. By the way how was interview process? I'm thinking of doing the PACE program maybe next year. How are the students and what is the genaral age group?
Another guy who just completed the Mesa PD said a few days ago on this forum that the Mesa pilots hired from the streets were very supportive of him and there is a good atmosphere between PD pilots and non PD pilots.
