Also you have to list every school you've ever gone to on ANY airline app...you gonna just leave a two year blank spot and tell them you took some time off to sit on the beach and smoke dope in Bora Bora??
Didn't say they wouldn't know. I said they wouldn't care. MAPD is a flight school just like Uncle Joe's Learn-2-Fly FBO. They just use HP equipment and add airline procedures. Frankly, those procedures they teach should be integrated into any fllight training syllabus.
Furthermore, many major airline pilots I have spoken with haven't even heard of Mesa Airlines, much less MAPD. Particularly two America West pilots I met. "Pizza Airlines? Who's that? Oh
Mesa? Never heard of them." And allow me to add they were not being obtuse. Seriously had no idea. Not kidding.
I really try to avoid arguments for or against MAPD, but some misstatements really get me riled up.
