Longbow I looked at the mesa program at ASU as well since Im only a two hour drive south of there. My problem with that was that its on the much smaller East campus in mesa, az. From what I did see, the east campus isnt much of the college enviornment I was looking for Im not sure if thats what you are looking for but you are pretty isolated from the rest of ASU although Im sure you can take classes in other subjects at the main campus, its just a bit of a hike from Mesa, AZ. While I am an aspiring airline pilot myself and would love to fly for one of the better regionals like Skywest or Horizon, i cringe at the thought of Mesa and many on this forum can certainly attest to that notion who actually have experience. While Mesa has quick upgrade time and it's relatively easy to get a job there with fewer hours than most of the other regionals, are you willing to work for nothing, get treated like nothing, have a **** poor QOL especially your first few years, and listen to people complain and ***** day after day. Im embarrassed taking those TUS-PHX flights in those mesa crj-900's the f/a's have such bad attitudes, and the place lacks professionalism in every sense of the word. I hope that if you do go to the program, you get your ratings, get a backup in something else, and once your done get out and find a place in the job field that can pay you first year livable wages and has some professionalism and class to go along with it.
