As for the line oriented instruction, I'd say you're way off base here Laddie. The fact that Mesa IOE CA's are holding their applicants until they have 100 or so hours shows competency and respect for the public at large. Mind you, in Mesa's past, there have been less than stellar Neo-Nazi wannabe's in the training department. These individuals were trying to make a name for themselves. With those few examples aside, I can firmly say that the training I had a Mesa was outstanding. I have heard the ERJ program is a bit fast but the rest of the programs are "spot-on".

As for your comments, I'd suggest you refrain unless you have some evidence to the contrary. I'm all ears.
