Here is my point...I just sat in on a FedEx New Hire class yesterday and there were once again, mixed in with all the military guys MULTIPLE Mesa pilots in the class. No XJT, Horizon, Skywest...ect, ect. So as you sit back and enjoy the CHOICE you made to have a career at a Regional...those Mesa guys will continue to get hired at the "Top of the Food Chain."

FYI...You can't get hired at FedEx unless you have an internal recommendation with a pilot you have FLOWN with. So Mesa/Air Midwest guys will continue to get their buddies hired.
Getting hired at FEDEX is 100% related to knowing someone, has nothing to do with wich regional you worked for.

BTW when I left mesa, the bottom of the captain list was moving 4-5 numbers per month...after you account for retirements, medical problems, and career changers, that leaves 1-2 getting hired at a major. The number at SKW is 15-20 / month. Somebody out there doesn't like mesa captains...and even if you're the greatest guy on earth, if all the captains are stuck in front of you, how are you going to get your PIC?
