XJT on the ERJ side used to be double occupancy...not sure about now. And the ASA side only gets like $1200 month I think.

 

$5300 a month for a new hire at Mesa? I see you really did your "homework"!

 

Newhires are usually labeled as PHX based...

Ie. if you are anywhere but PHX you get per diem. This is pretty common to all regionals.

 

Envoy provides double-occupancy during indoc, then single occupancy for cockpit procedures training through sim. 75 hrs of pay during training and 16 hrs of per diem each day while in training (days off included) until IOE. This is regardless of training location (most likely DFW for the whole thing).

 

I am potentially starting training with Mesa in Sept. Can anyone give me details as to how the training is, what hotel we stay at, and how long training goes for?

 

The training (Indoc, systems and sim) foot print is about two months. That's given that you go right into sims after systems and there is no wait time for sims to be available. I heard some guys were getting 2-4 weeks off (paid) after systems do to a wait for sim time.

Training at Mesa is top notch. The instructors want you to succeed, know what material is important and are there to help you.

Last I heard new hires were still staying at the sleep inn in single occupancy rooms.

This is for CRJ training in PHX.

I'm not sure about how Mesa is doing EJET training but I imagine since it's done by the same company, (flight safety STL) it has to be similar to my experience at RAH.

Training for that was about the same (two months) time frame. I wouldn't rave about the flight safety instructors too much, seemed like they were just in a hurry to cover the material and get home. You pretty much were expected to look up and figure out any questions you had on your own.

Again that was three years ago so things may have changed but definitely was very impressed by mesa's own instructors in how they teached the CRJ vs flight safety's instructors for the EJET.

Maybe Skillett can give a better run down of today's EJET training....

 

Thanks for the info! I've been told that I'll be going through CRJ training. I have no 121 experience and was told they wanted those folks for the 175. Whether that's true or not, I don't know.

 

Best Western Plus in Tempe now, but otherwise that seems pretty spot on.

Due to sim waits, they've also discussed sending guys to other cities to get it done faster, including the potential for St. Louis, Toronto, and even Copenhagen.

 

New question: how easy is it to leave on the weekends? My family will be staying in Austin and I'd like to make it out to see them every now and then.

 

Copenhagen...Denmark?
