Yeah, what real airline would that be? Delta, United, Continental, Jet Blue, Air Tran? I do understand that they are all hiring.
Or, do you mean an FO at any regional? I don't think many of the regionals are hiring right now.
Everyone wants to tell unemployed pilots to stay away from Mesa but it sounds better than sending out resumes to a bunch of airlines that are cancelling classes. It really sounds better than going to a regional as an FO and getting paid 21 an hour to swing gear.
I am not saying Mesa is the place to be because we all know that they suck, but if I am unemployed and typed in the 200, than Mesa could be the best opportunity out there.
