Because they already left all the info you need to show up on your class date in your voicemail.

You're interview lasts all the way through IOE.

Failing during training = no job flying shiny jets

And yes people do get sent home.

Verrrrry nice.

Get people in the door with no interview, then destroy their career with a 121 training failure when they "fail the interview".

Make sure your paperwork is good and disclose everything. They always drop a few guys in the first couple weeks.

Maybe they should make sure they don't fail their training.

I'm not sure what world you live in, but not everyone gets to be an airline pilot. If you are a capable individual with a good attitude and hard work ethic then you will make it through. If you have an entitled attitude and want everything handed to you then you won't fare so well here.

What I said is true of any airline job...you have to actually make it through training to get "the job." Yes even at Skywest...

Just keep calling and if you know someone at the company have them refer you to speed up the process. But they are busy that's all.

So Mesa will literally hire anyone with 1500 hours, and all it takes is a "capable individual with a good attiude and hard work ethic". Yet you say, "Not everyone can be an airline pilot" (?!).

I love Mesa fanboy logic. Anyone can smile their way through 6 weeks of training.

You're right. Not everyone does. What better way to tell them that than to hire them and fire them at the first sight of weakness. You wouldn't want to waste precious minutes asking technical questions during an interview (establishes a knowledge baseline and level of preparedness) or put them in a sim (do they have adequate instrument skills).

As a CFI, would you put up a private pilot student for a check ride at the minimum hours regardless if you felt they'd pass with the attitude "well if you can't hack it,you should just give up on flying."
