Mesa sim instructor posting
 

Worth it? I have @7000TT, 650 TPIC, prior 121 (currently at a frac) with GV and smaller type ratings (5 of them). 3000 as instructor airplane and about 1500 as instructor in a CRJ200 FTD as well as GS instructor in same.
I'm more of an instructor at heart, but line flying is what pays the bills. This opening pays "up to" (I always am suspicious of that term) a rate that I can live on, but Mesa has a reputation as we all know and I'm looking for current Mesa people to chime in. PM me if you want or put it out here.
Thanks

Completely new position as far as I know all other instructors are line captains. I’m assuming they made this position to send some of those guys back on the line since we’re short. If they pay you captain rate I think it’s a pretty good deal lots of OT from what I gather. The main girl that does all the scheduling is leaving tho and I think she kept those guys happy so there might be issues moving forward with whoever takes it over.

Kendra is leaving?

She quit back in December I think.

Thanks NB.

Question:
...Mesa continually touts “Hired by Line Pilots, Trained by Line Pilots”...
If that’s the case, why go outside Mesa for instructors or is that tag line, which appears on Mesa’s web site, recruitment materials, and goodies Mesa give away at air shows, open houses and recruitment events, no longer true?
We have a former student at the Mesa training facility now who reports none of his instructors have been “line pilots”.
What gives?

From what's been explained to me, the instructors are also line qualified and do a trip or 2 a month, sometimes more.

What about the Flight Safety SIM instructors in STL? Are they “line qualified” even though they don’t work for Mesa?

Don't know. STL is a depressing place...I'd be begging to fly the line just to get away.

What I am telling you is the “selling point” is bogus, a flat out lie... this all went by the wayside last summer... and, I don’t think Mesa even tries to live up to this anymore.

How can you be hiring SIM instructors off the street who are “line qualified”.... or using Flight Safety instructors who are “line qualified”....
