You were given some bad info. Mesa pays for your hotel after you finish the systems test, which is about 4 weeks into training, not 2 months. Also, most people split the room costs as well. And expressjet doesn't pay for food, just mentioning that as a downside to mesa is not being very unbiased, IMO.
