Wow...change your handle to Top Gun as you are obviously the best pilot in the class.

My comment wasn't made in arrogance. It's just the way it is.

Good luck with this attitude, I hope it serves you well in the sim & online. Your perceptions would be more palatable coming from an instructor or check airman, but a FNG? hmm? I don't know dude unless you're dead on correct - I guess I should give you the benefit of the doubt, but your statement still seems arrogant whether you meant it to be or not. I bet these guys you think so little of, once they figure it all out, will be safe conscientious FO's, and JUST as importantly, enjoyable to be stuck with on a 4 day trip.

It might not be too late for you, I think OO is still hiring - that's where all the cool kids go - just sayin'

I was like you going into class. Then I got a reality check by one of my instructors. Do that during your SIM and you'll find yourself out the door in a jiffy.

Everyone is capable of passing and will do just fine with the help of Mesa's excellent training department.

4 more 900's coming this late winter/early spring. 6 more to come in the next 6-12 months. (20 total agreed upon with Airways). All going to CLT as of now. At least the first 10.

30 ejets as announced with an option for another 20 more. 50 total.

Was in PHX last week and this is what they're saying in the training dept and a senior (prior CP) PHX CA also confirmed separately.

Also they stated they plan on hiring 600 next year.

Now more importantly.... has anyone seen an extra IPAD mount? I left it in a 900 Sunday. Errrrrrr lol

600 new hires? Can this be right? Is the APC pilot count of 855 pilots accurate? With a lot of the new people being former cfi's with no 121 time is it practical that Mesa may have trouble finding people eligible for upgrade like TSA did and end up with 2013/2014 hires as captains? Is it realistic that Mesa can and will expand this fast?
