My point of Mesa being a place to start over was in response to the person defending that company. A broken clock is right twice a day too, so just because there are some decent pilots in the group does not change the fact that there are a lot of screw ups- notably including the FO who flew 3591 into the ground.
I identify as a attack helicopter, but prefer to be addressed as Obergruppenfuhrer (that goes over real well with my jewish family).
On the Mesa thing, I don't have a dog in this hunt, but I quit two jobs within 3 months of each other over safety issues. In either cases I had no issues in training passed both check rides with "flying colors" but after getting on the line I realized safety wasn't even an afterthought. And punched out before I got killed. One company I was on the line for 2 weeks. The other company 3 weeks. So I have 2 short term stints on my resume that look like I failed in training when that wasn't the case at all. Out of 30 years of flying, 20 something checkrides (not including my military training) and 11 ratings. I have had one single failure and that was during my primary flight training, no accidents or incidents and never face disciplinary action from the FAA. Didn't even fail my initial CFI and everyone fails that.
SO would you say the same thing about me? I quit 2 jobs within 3 months of each other from VERY questionable safety issues. Both companies had major fines issued against them. Both companies tried to get me to violate the regulations and fly unsafe and unairworthy aircraft. In one company's case they have been fined by the FAA pretty much every year in the last decade. They were angry when I quit and are certainly giving me a bad reference. Would you recommend me for a "409" ride (thought it was a 709)?
My point is "don't believe everything a company says about employees".
