We're not the airline for you. Perhaps other places will ask you fewer questions? Either way, we're not a good fit for you.
The guy who crashed in 2019 had multiple failures on the records we received as well as failures here. Despite hiring hundreds of Mesa pilots we claimed we didn't know how to read Mesa's records (which we did receive). He also concealed some problems at other airlines that he tried to play off as periods of unemployment.
To our airline's credit we recognize that we have a reputation as an airline that will take anybody. We have a recommendation process that pays people 5k for a hire, so theres incentive to recommend as many people as possible. So with a reputation as a place that will take misfits, and a giant pilot recruiting effort, it makes sense that our HR folks may want to be extra cautious. There are few filters.
