Why Mesa?
I currently work for RPA and while I love the people here I am done with the commuting life.
After being married and soon to have a kid on the way maximizing days off at home is a priority rather than commuting. Although I have the ERJ type I am looking to be DFW based so CRJ is priority seeing how there’s the least delay training wise and getting on the line. I applied to Envoy and Skywest, but haven’t heard anything back yet. What made you pick Mesa? How are the trips on the CRJ? Can you block a good amount of flight time on the CRJ vs ERJ? How has your training experience been at Mesa? CRJ or ERJ. Pay aside what do you not like about Mesa? Thanks and advance to those who took the time to answer. |

Not saying SkyWest is much better than Mesa right now but why aren't you looking at SkyWest and at least getting the 121 experience pay match? DFW is pretty junior for FO and CA currently. All American 700 flying with pretty decent trips

I can't imagine you will be waiting long for calls from any regional if you are type rated and have no crazy skeletons in the closet. Hit up a recruiter directly if you can. OO will probably start you tomorrow if you come in as a street CA, I'd be pursuing your preferred regionals directly again if I were you. |

I’ll be honest and say at OO I was only wanting to fly the ERJ only because I am familiar with it. With the delays that are happening over there in general and radio silence new trainees are getting regarding IOE and getting sent home after indoc with no return dates in sight doesn’t sit well with me.
I only applied to DFW based regionals. OO hasn’t responded yet. Envoy responded with a generic email to update my airline app and after I do to email envoy recruiting which I did and no response since then. I only have about 100hrs on the ERJ so not sure if I can start as a street CA or feel comfortable with that as I am still learning the plane. Mesa was quick. Applied on a fri and got a phone screen Monday with an interview scheduled 3 days later and got the yes the following Monday. I talked to a couple of guys(one just finished his IOE)on the CRJ and footprint was 3.5 months. I really don’t want be sitting home and collecting pay. Yeah, that’s the word I have been getting if I start on the 9 at Mesa and if I want to upgrade it would have to be I to the ERJ. How did you feel the training was on at Mesa for the CRJ? Instructors? I also noticed the 9 does decent legs of length. It flies all the way out west. I do like the ERJ, but it took me a while to understand the high level of automation of the plane. Thank you Porky and Avgeek. I will wait on OO till this weekend then will prob just head out for the April class at Mesa. |
