So, I'm pretty much looking for what I can get, although I did get an interview w/ Scenic towards the end of the month. Anyone here work for them/have any input about them?
I understand what flynavy is saying, but in the case of mesa you really DO want to stay in general aviation rather than go there. 1000/100 will get you a real job somewhere else.
If you have some b@llz and absolutely can't scrounge up the hours any other way, you could go to mesa, get typed, fly 200 hours and then bail for a better carrier after a few months...you would have to ignore their attempts to harrass you into paying their $10,000 early-out penalty. The legality of enforcing that is apparently debatable.
