I live in Farmington and attend San Juan College and have talked to many of the students in the mesa pilot development program. I have talked to several of the students and I can't believe how much they talk up that program. Those guys just can wait to work for a crappy airline like Mesa.

 

Yeah, they are pretty confused...especially since johny o will happily hire wet commercials off the street who didn't spend 2 years and $95k for a mesa interview.

 

I'm so happy that I came on here and read all these posts on Mesa. I was once confused (often sometimes still am) about which direction I was going to go for flying. Now I can say that even though I have the G.I. Bill burning a hole in my pocket and just dying to get back into the game as quick as possible, I think I'm going to take the respectable route and earn the right seat. I mean, I've already put my flying on hold for 10 years to join the Air Force and "experience" the world and get some time turning wrenches and then get to do the FE thing now so what's another couple years. I'm not in it to make money fast, I just wanna have fun and experience everything that is out there and see what's the best. If glass cockpits wouldn't be taking my job away I would definetly stick with it because it's the best of both worlds.
