100% of the people saying they would show up to ground school yesterday, actually showed up. Another big class scheduled for next month.

Spoke to a recruiter this week, no trouble filling classes. YV has been doing phone interviews since like 07, this is nothing new.

Good feedback prior121. How long does it normally take from the "we'd like to interview you" to the actual phone call? I answered, "you can interview me anytime you'd like," and then gave a date/time if necessary. No call...
3900 TT, >3400 TPIC, 1200 Multi, All Military. Not sure how that stacks up, but I guess patience is the name of the game.

So, I get from your answer they only do a phone interview? Unreal! No wonder they lose 70% in training for what ever reason. And when you say "my 3 months of training"...I haven't decided to apply there yet LOL... Maybe if no one else wants to hire me when I am done time building in 2-3 months.
And thanks for the info!

They could very well be thinking that you are overqualified and just want to put a few months of 121 time on your resume to help land a mainline job. I don't recall if mesa has a training contract or not.

Good point FLYZERG and well taken...however, I don't anyone should limit their sight picture in today's industry. Hiring boom 'maybe's' aside, I'm casting a pretty wide net and just want a paying/flight job at this point.

I have no idea why roscoef16 wouldn't get a call then, any kind of nudge in they're direction and im sure it would get someones attention. Possibly just calling the office to confirm that they are able to see it on airlineapps could be enough to get the wheels turning.

Thanks NM...I'd still do it, and while I'm not excited about the pay, we will all pay our dues in one form or another.
