I'm sitting on an "offer" from them that has a class date for May. I responded, but have had absolutely no contact from them. Equally as bizarre is that trying to get in touch with someone who actually knows what's going on seems about as easy as getting a one-on-one meeting with the Pope.
Needless to say I didn't wait around for someone to contact me for very long before taking another offer. I don't care if you're the best regional out there or the worst, treating people like that is just a lousy way of doing business. It's a shame too -- I'm sure (or at least I hope) that this kind of treatment is an exception to the rule with how Mesa treats their employees, but they seem to forget that first impressions are everything. They aren't the only game in town.

If I called you a derogetory name or something, the moderators would be jumping down my throat and deleting my posts, but what you've done is worse and strikes at the heart of what pilots hold most dear, their ability to do their job well.
maturity? Check yourself dude.

Go ahead skillett and call us butt buddies again, I don't care. Prior121 has contributed a great amount of value to this thread, as have you. Sure he may be wrong, but thats the beauty of the debate...
Past all that. I'm not here to put people down anymore. But Prior is being immature toward some of the other post. I'm just answering his question in that last thread. Since he brought it up again, I thought I would direct it back at him.

Schedules and day offs change monthly. Ex. I have many two days bumped up against four days (six days total) with 15 days off this month. But July, August, September and October had 11 days off and all four day trips. As for when you can hold a line and other factors like that. Some of the newer guys on here should be able to help you more. Sounds like some of the guys aren't getting called back for interviews. Some have been offered a job next fall. If we were to get additional flying soon you would think they would be offered jobs in the spring. Anyway they will need more pilots this next year for sure so I guess keep trying. And if some of the newer guys can help out on line holding wait times and such, feel free to jump in.

I'm in the top 10 of the reserves at the moment and I'm hoping I can hold a line in January with the 117 rules taking effect and hopefully more upgrades out of CLT. We'll see what happens. Hope that helps.
