Some of the worst pilots I have flown with when I was at Mesa also had MBA's... Some of the best, none. I feel for all you Mesa pilots who have a 2 year or none at all.
To any Mesa guys complaining about a 4 year degree requirement all I can say is be happy you get a hand out watered down interview! I know countless of my former colleagues at other regionals/LCC’s with close to 8-10,000 hours, 4 year degree, PIC time galore, LCA, Union leadership positions, etc and can’t get an interview.
Absolutely none of us at United care if you have “suffered” at Mesa and feel you deserve to come here without meeting a pretty basic requirement for a career opportunity that wasnt earned, rather lucked into because United and Mesa can’t staff the operation without dangling this carrot.
To the good guys at Mesa that understand how fortunate they are to have this opportunity, I wish you all good luck in the interview and hope to see you on property soon.
