Could be...Indoc is the same for both aircraft and then split into separate systems classes the following week. That's the way we used to do it at Mesa in the mid 2000s.

I was told they're running a CRJ class every 2 weeks, so Aug 7th would be the next one after July 24th.

I was also told they're only offering the 175 to those with prior 121 experience, though I've heard at least one anecdote otherwise.

 

Thanks for the reply. I have a friend without 121 experience in the 175 class that started earlier this month.

 

Well, he lucked out then; I wasn't offered a choice.

New toys are great but I'm perfectly fine with getting the CRJ. CRJ upgrades will be substantially quicker and I'd much rather upgrade into a jet I'm experienced in. Plus a PHX commute will be much better for me than IAH, once I can hold it.

 

Yeah I know a guy too in this months class without 121 experience. He is far from a friend. My friends have respectable character. He is......the bottom of the pilot barrel.

Anybody and everybody can get hired at Mesa. Scarey.

 

I am not kidding. Still have the voice mails and emails. I have never applied to Mesa. I'll attach the email. I give my friend the recruiters number, and he was hired on the spot when he called ten minutes after I give it to him. He's in the July 7th class for the 175.

And let's not forget the possibility of LAX (fingers crossed).

 

The few, the proud, the... desperate?

 

I'll take either!

 

Wow, that's straight up sad.
