Ok we can go with the needed Mesa bashing- from a captain who works there and personally failed out of his first 121 gig, "Mesa is where you go when you've got multiple failures or you've failed out of another training program."

Second example, a FO over there who resigned from another regional rather than TRB/termination told us that he got a job offer from Mesa without a face to face interview less than 60 minutes after submitting an application. The recruiting department contacted him 5 minutes after submitting his app. What other airlines are hiring pilots in under an hour? Knowing that the candidate resigned after some IOE?

Sure there are outstanding pilots over there, but there's a ton of pilots who couldn't hack it somewhere else. Heck I've even heard of guys being fired for sexual harassment with a good airline that can't get the phone to ring anywhere else, so Mesa is their only option to stay in aviation. For some people it's a good option to turn a new leaf and correct their previous mistakes, but for others like the Atlas 3591 FO, they have a history that makes them undesirable virtually everywhere else permanently.
