I was thinking about going to Mesa to be home based, and I just found this out with a friend who recently got typed there.
What is that all about???

I am interested to know what that is all about.
And yes I might center my decision on whatever I want, I do not tell you what to do with your life, quit being a Dbag!

A few training organizations out there will remove the limitation for you. I believe Pan Am in Florida will do it for around $600 if you bring a partner. A lot of international operators want an unrestricted ATP. I've seen this mentioned on a few China contract job postings.

I don't have personal experience with the Chinese operators, but it's possible they do circle to land approaches.
