True 100% I should say as soon as they are able. Thanks for looking out. Still a short upgrade though.

If someone calls or gets a call from recruiting, ask them about your concerns and see what they say. No one blew unicorn and sunshine up my glutes, they were straight up with me. Ok gotta go anyone wanna try to get on, feel free to pm me and I will put you in contact with the right persons. take care all!
Is this Skillett part deux? (no offense buddy)

First your sentence structure is painful to read and downright confusing. So basically what you're telling us is; YOU asked for a specific equipment and they moved on and didn't offer YOU a job? Got it.

Move along folks nothing to see here.

Note: Tell them what equipment you want to come work here. If they want you to work here they will accommodate. Now if they were already on the fence about hiring you, couple failed checkrides, DUI or something, then yeah they may just move on.

Go home you're drunk.

Mesa hired a guy that failed out of 2 other 121 training programs? Maybe third time is the charm???

I think you may want to compare PSA's contract to Mesa's...

People are bragging or arguing about our quick upgrade at Mesa. What the prospective candidates need to be aware of is the lack of hiring prospects from the legacies once they pin on those Mesa wings. A VERY SMALL (around a dozen that I know of) and 'select' few have been picked up by the majors in the last six months. Ask someone at express jet/Skywest/republic etc. how many hundred pilots they've lost in the last six months in comparison. It makes perfect sense for United and American not to hire one of their cheapest contractors that happen to perform at the top. I can only imagine the closed door agreements management has made to get new flying. So if you really want that quick upgrade into below industry par Captain pay, come on board for life; because as of now, it's not too rosy for Mesa pilots moving up to a legacy. Go to one of the other regionals and get hired as an FO into a legacy. Mesa isn't a horrible company, but people need to know that their hope to get some PIC and move on is a falacy at this point. (And I'm usually the optimistic one)

He is what Mesa calls an 'excellent top notch candidate'.
