I suspect they are looking specifically for CL65 and/or EMB170/190 type rated pilots, who no longer have a 1st class medical or are aged 65 or older. Otherwise, they would prefer you to be a line pilot. The Mesa SIM instructors I have met that teach our pilots are either former line pilots (lost a medical) or Flight Safety instructors who already hold the type rating they are teaching. Up until last fall, there were line qualified pilots (with a medical) that taught in the SIM.

That's too bad. I was a CRJ200 FTD (Level 5/6) instructor in the past....did about 1500 in it. I'm more of an instructor at heart (I like watching "the light go on" with people in training, etc) and would be a good guy to have around. Ah well, their loss. Thanks for the info.

There is definitely a need for more instructors, both sim and ground. Try emailing one of the contacts listed on the Mesa website, maybe you will get a faster response.

On the Ejet side, I have heard relief is coming. Flight Safety instructors are reportedly being used. Additional SIM time is being acquired. The most recent Ejet pilots are getting through to IOE in about 5 months from date of hire.
Our former student also reported yesterday a Mesa corporate email announcing the retirement of the Exec VP of Recruiting and Training and the employment of a consultant and adviser for the training department. And the rumor mill indicates the Director of Training also "retired". Related to the backlog?
Or are the rats jumping off the Titanic?
