New to Forums, learning how this works, please don't laugh...

I believe I am going to be offered a July CRJ Class date.

Any thoughts on odds of a new CRJ FO getting DFW Based?

Welcome to Mesa and APC. The odds are very good of getting DFW right out of the gate. Worst case scenario is you spend one month at IAD before being able to move over to DFW.

Anyone been to Mesa training recently?

What do you wish you had know or studied before you showed up?

What do you know now about Mesa you did not know or expect before you start working for them?

Any other info/thoughts you would give to a new guy to help them out?

I get it its a Regional Job and I get it that the pay is horrible for the first few years, I'm a fortunate enough to be in a position where I can face the tough economic times coming. I would just like to make my time there as productive and smooth as possible.

I'm finishing initial training with Mesa right now. I made a lateral move from another carrier and, so far, couldn't be happier that I did. It's all a matter of what works for you.

The training department here has been outstanding. Don't worry about studying anything before you arrive. Your instructors will give you all of the information you need to know in a "building block" fasion. Just show up ready to study and let the instructors do their thing.

I guess the only advice I could give a potential new hire regarding training would be to clear your schedule and expect to be away from home for the next two months. You may have some time off throughout the process but there's no telling when it may be. We had a few guys in class that were still trying to manage side businesses, trying to get home every weekend, things like that during ground school and it seemed to wear on them. Come in with nothing more than training on your plate if at all possible.

Uhhhh, no people aren't getting carpet dances for call offs - you know that.

You just trying to intimidate the new guys or something?

Swung thru the PHX crew room today. That place was like a retirement home.

Does anyone know what percentage of Mesa's list is over 60?

Anybody know how to view loads and standby list on Wings?

Do you have your login and everything?

Once you search for flights, it shows how many open seats are in First and Coach on the right side. Clicking on one of those numbers creates a pop-up that shows the number of non-revs. Further clicking "Click to view full list of non-revs" gives you everyone's priority so you can see where you'd rank.

Does that help?

Perfect, thanks.
