Once apon a time I was at an airline in training and another pilot had ran in to a FA that he know at Colgan. Well they had a lot of catching up to do and everyone knew about it. While on lunch break in the cafeteria she just blatantly comes in and sits down on his lap in front of the whole class, instructors and all. Lol Now she was not a small gal either which made it even more astounding. The room got very quiet and a aquward silence was blowing in from the air vents. Need less to say after that day both he and her disappeared and we never saw them again. LMAO
Your last two posts were like jamming needles in my eyes to read.

I'm not sure who, Facebitten, is. While I'm sorry that you were let go, as several others have said, you cannot sleep in a 121 training class. Nor going around bashing the airline that "screwed you". It's not just the fact you were sleeping on the break, but how does that look to them? Well if he sleeps here for sure he will sleep in the air. Of course you don't get the option to resign, you were just hired, and hired to be a professional, act like one. You're in training, getting paid to learn the systems of an airplane, be it Mesa or anywhere else, stay up, pay attention and learn. It is not amazon shopping hour, or airline pilot forum update time, get out of fantasy land and into reality. Grow up, no airline is out to screw a new hire it cost them time and money, obviously you messed up. Move on. Don't trash an airline for firing you because you slept in the training class that they paid you to attend. What kind of spoiled kid thinks thats being screwed over? Please inform us which regional you would like to go to that allows it's new hires to sleep and surf the internet during training class. You'd be laughed at by any major for such unprofessionalism and silliness.
If you can't handle the regional airline training environment, maybe scheduled service isn't for you.
As far as Mesa is concerned, they're a decent little airline. Sure not the best pay, but you're also not there to be a lifetime F/O. You'll get paid a little less, but be a CA quicker than almost anywhere else and then you get paid more. Simple logic. They also don't have any small planes, and aren't parking any, in fact they continue to add. This is a different company than the pre-bankruptcy Mesa and everyone I have come into contact with has been wonderful. Most employees like the company quirks and all and we want to see it grow.

Well in that case it must say something that he's posting on his FB that "Getting fired by Mesa was the best thing that ever happened to me".
Whether or not the indiscretion was large or small, thinking that getting a TRM on his PRIA 1 week into his first 121 experience is, at least slightly, showing a disconnect from reality. To then go and post about it online, in public, in this industry, is simply insane.
Whatever. Moving on.

Pria stays with you for 3 years. its a job/ training history for 135 and 121. Uncle sam keeping tabs. You can thank the Colgan crash for this. If you failed a 121 program it shows and i believe also if you were in the Hymms program (AA for Pilots).

and yes it will. As soon as you do your fingerprints and you are an official employee you are in their system.

Mesa has some lady calling the 70+ people that bailed in the last year to 'figure-out' why they left. Didn't know where to start...basing, health ins, flow, payrate, no uniform allow. , retirement, flight bennies, above all a CEO with public disdain for the pilot community. Unbelievable management.
