Somebody posted a rejection letter from Mesa today on Facebook that said that when they start hiring again they were only considering applicants that already have their ATP until further notice. It told the applicant if they got their ATP on their own that they should update their application.
This is not surprising, once Regionals begin hiring again I would expect they would all rather hire an ATP then an applicant without one until the pool runs out to save money.

I received a conditional offer from Mesa about a month ago. Former 121 regional - 135 Charter - then Pt 91 captain experience. Received a letter saying they’re still not bringing people out of the pool, and have no idea when they’ll begin training new hires.
Feel overall lucky to have found another flying job that hired me to fly Pt 135 for them. Really crazy times out here.
