I don't think he was comparing UAL or AA to Mesa, as far as airlines.
You started by saying Mesa charged for an interview. They do not. They require a "processing fee" at the interview (if you are called). So you didn't pay to get the interview. You are paying for them to process the paperwork once you are interviewed. At least you got the interview though.
Back when a few airlines were hiring (and now actually), some of them required a "processing fee" also. And that was BEFORE the interview. So you could have spent $100 just to have the "privilige" of sending in an app.
BTW, ask some of your Capts if they paid for, their training, hotel, type, meals, etc ...when they were hired by XJT back in the day.
