Really, your gonna go there. This industry at least on the regional side is in a death spiral. Come on, Skype interviews? That's complete BS. Sales pitch? If that's the case why doesn't every company do this?

Whatever floats your boat.....
Chances are either way would yield the same results. But why degrade this industry by going away from the formal interview?

I remember just 2 years ago when eveyone and their mom ripped on Mesa for doing interviews over the phone, now it's what eveyone wants? Whatever I guess. I didn't know leaving your house for a few days was such a big deal. Y'all are gonna love training and then being on the line

This. Mesa has been the laughing stock of airline hiring.

They were. They're just taking their frustrations out.

Is there a difference between street hires and lateral transfers?

Skype for lateral transfers is one thing. Skype for a flight instructor that has never been in 121 is another.

Not that I am aware of. They seem to be pretty big about actually meeting people and determining a personality/cultural fit. However, at the rate this place continues to implode - anything is possible.

I start my last trip at Awac tomorrow morning. While I am relieved and excited to be moving onto an LCC, its such BS what is going on here. Interstingly enough I saw CS on my commute in. He was actually going to work a trip. We chit chatted and the level of frustration he showed was something. I do not envy our MEC at the moment.

I hope things work out here, but it is extremely hard to imagine that happening. I get this place has "been around", but just like the stock markt, past results do not necessarily predict future gains. For the majority of businesses, most do come to an end at some point.

Haha. Funny, right?
I can't get out of this place quick enough. Just praying I get an to LCC or Atlas before we close and I'm forced to go fly for another regional.
