There were 3 in my class - 1 washed out - and was then heading to PHX to try to get an interview at Mesaba before she had to leave the country.

I also think we're still bringing in a decent new hire size because of the new ATL base. The only other option for ATL is Endeavor and they've even stopped interviewing, much less having class dates 6+ months in advance.

The Aussies can be here and in class just as fast as anyone in the states. It takes no time to get the visa. I know some that had the interview and were in class a week later.

Mesaba has been gone since about 2008 so how exactly was this person going to get an interview without a time machine?
