But like others have said, definitely apply everywhere, but know that Mesa shouldn’t be an end goal, or else you’ll be miserable, it’s very much a stepping stone. And if you live near DC, you’re golden, everyone gets IAD initially and they have that Aviate program thing which almost guarantees you a spot with United in a couple years.
I’m going to stop this AVIATE rumor of “almost guaranteed job at United”. It DOES NOT almost guarantee anything except a possible interview. Stop giving people false hopes. You still have to go thru the entire interview process just like anyone else. This program does nothing except get your application pulled from the stack. While that is a huge positive, don’t make this program out to be more than it truly is.
