Haha, they blocked me for making a laughing face. I hear people at Mesa despise the person who runs the social media pages.

On another topic, do Mesa pilots have the option of wearing hats? I know many don't like to, but I am just curious. Calmwinds?

Something like "How long does it take from the 1st day of training to IOE completion if you are assigned the E-Jet".

1. There are no sits greater then 4 hours. You see a pairing that was built with a longer sit, prove it.
2. You sit more then 4 hours you get a hotel. Read the contract.
3. Nothing is built to max duty day due to buffers.

Is it possible to sit more then 4 hours? Sure turn cancels or something. But that's not scheduled. The statement was we schedule sits in excess of 4 hours. We do not.

Why the long training footprint? Are applicants requiring more time to get up to speed than the standard syllabus calls for creating a backlog, or is it high volume and not enough simulators? It seems that a lot of regionals are taking a long time to get someone through the machine.

Idk why you guys are up in arms about the long training like someone said before go on a trip or go home and relax just leave your phone on. Hotels are slightly better but still suck. More junior assignments but you can say no if you have something to do just have a backbone. And no 4 hr sits but definitely a handful of 2 and 3 hr sits but not as bad as last year.
