I hope all the Mesa guys do better the next time around, after all, they've got nowhere to go but up. I can understand his fear. He's clinging to the only place that took him, bad as it is. Over the last 5 years, I've flown with many pilots who were unsuccesful at 1, 2 or even 3 other regionals (many with very low time). They learned something from each experience and were able to overcome the obstacles and correct mistakes to be successful. If a pilot busts 5 interviews at the regional level (especially in the recent market), then there HAS to be something significant going on. If you get the interview in the first place, your flight time isn't a disqualifier and apparently it isn't grammar and usage as there's supposedly a history with a piece of chalk and a bunch of kids. He needs to look within himself to identify the cause of the repetitive failures. This in and of itself will be a future obstacle, because soon he may be in that room again and will be asked what other companies he's ever interviewed with and he'll either have to explain a serious faliure pattern or lie.

Not good in either case, which may only add to the desperation to see Backboard Airlines continue.......but I digress.

The bottom line is that their boss has to go, no if, ands or buts.

...........and the sooner the better.
