[quote=TurboFan;507294]I went to Mesa Pilot Development in Farmington, NM (
Mesa Pilot Development Program). I wouldn't recommend going there these days, but I went from no flight experience into the right seat of the CRJ in 14 months. Never instructed. I've heard every angle of the time/no-time debate, but with over 1,500 in the CRJ I haven't killed anyone yet!
How much in debt were you when you came out? and... what can you do with that degree when you're furloughed? The best advice is to not reccomend ANY aviation college.

So far I've been very happy with the experience and although we all know what kind of company Mesa is, MAPD came through on all the promises they made me.
How many people flying right alongside you were hired off the street without having gone through their in-house affiliated program? Does it work, yes.... but it isn't worth it in most cases.
