good luck with that

 

 

Calling someone a "fool", but not understanding that "Your" and "You're" are not the same thing is....well....foolish.

 

Their there now

 

That is pretty funny.

 

Yea no joke, it's the internet, people need to take a chill pill.

I'm actually glad you pointed out my errors. Edited the post to be less inflammatory.

 

I think some on here are missing how it works at Mesa. Mesa does not technically hire street captains per se. They are hired as FOs and put through the PIC training program with the expectation that they will be able to hold a CA award almost immediately (before the end of the training cycle) No one is bypassed who is qualified, or else they are pay protected. The reason they put them through PIC training is to avoid paying for an upgrade course almost immediately after completing FO training.

This was happening in 2004 on the Dash 8. I could have gone through the PIC program upon initial hire, but chose to go through in the right seat first. Upgraded 3 months later, forcing them to put me through the upgrade training. It was well worth the extra training. Classmates of mine did go through the PIC program and were holding CA awards before the end of ground school. That is how it worked back then. No reason to believe it will be any different this time around. Mesa can put pilots through whatever training they want.

 

Holy run on sentence.
