Making an appearance like that makes you fair game in social media. Like it or not.

Of the 450 + FOs at Mesa I am surprised on one level, but not on another that he was used. Like I said, some will find out in time. When you burn enough bridges to be turned down twice in this environment with ANY regional this should be telling. He was hired with Mesa by app alone. Not much of a vetting process.

A very charismatic individual who fools some, but not others. Watch your wallets!

God help those when he upgrades. Smartest guy in the room. But not really.
Sounds like he raped you In prison then took your wallet.

Doing your job makes you a target? C'mon be a man or woman and go up to him and tell him to his face. If not shut your anonymous face and step away from the safety of your keyboard muscles.

I know him and yes he is a charismatic attractive Man, which in The real world usually leads to success. Deal with it. I'm fat and ugly and have to work harder to keep my job and my hot wife.

BTW how long was she your girlfriend before he stole her?

Production quality was really good.
Yeah, I didn't understand those two statements, especially the "Low attrition" one. The video is obviously targeted towards the starry-eyed future airline pilot, but even those kids know that low attrition is not a benefit in this profession. Doing more with less may be appealing to a future executive, but not to labor.

If this is some pathetic attempt to call someone out behind their back, well then shame on you for not having the balls to approach this person directly.

This post speaks volumes not only about your character but also the industry as a whole. I'm sure a lot of you have noticed, but there are WAY too many pilots out there worried about the food on everyone else's plate. As an example, the Mesa thread brings these guys out of the woodwork.

STOP IT. It doesn't matter who Joe Smith is or isn't. At the end of the day all you can worry about is yourself and your situation. The bad apples tend to get weeded out sooner or later anyway.

But you were the one that asked.

There seems to exist a large amount of hypocrisy on these boards these days.

I do agree that ones true character eventually shows over time. And whether respectable or not, consequences are unavoidable.

If anything is to be learned here is you do not burn ANY bridges in this profession. And it appears this person has at least one. And it has already affected their life.

Best of luck to us all.

People used to ask me if the movie "Flight" was an accurate representation of a pilots life. I told them no way. The Captain never does a walk around, especially in the rain!!

Everyone is so cut throat on this thread.....I almost had the popcorn put up but never mind that.

been in indoc a few days. Mesa sounds like a good place to be. Everyone so far has been friendly. Our class has a lot of seasoned experienced pilots both prior 121 and 135. Our indoc instructor will be our systems instructor for the CRJ Class. Very knologable. Class is big. I believe close to 31. Hotel vans are a pain. Between the FA pilots and Mechanics = no seats. Glad i drove. A few of us are staying at the sleep in, most at the Best W. If staying at the sleep inn good luck. its in the middle of no where and the hotel will only go to walmart on sunday. *** Note for future pilot******* I guess the iPad air 2 does not fit in the approved mounts that they want you to buy. They are still trying to figure out a solution to this. Mabe consider buying the iPad air 1 if you don't want this problem. Not sure what we with the air 2 are going to do yet.

iPad air 1/2 is the same size. The approved mount does fit air models but you need the clip-On portion for an air. If you call them instead of placing the order online, they'll get you sorted ��
