I know both these get beat down on here, but if you had to choose between the 2, which one?

Just asking because everywhere is hiring right now.

Why would you shoot for the bottom of the barrel right off the bat?

CPZ, Horizon, Whisky, SKW are all trying to fill classes.
You need to ask the question to yourself. Why Mesa? Didn't your work for Mesa? The talk is that you couldn't make it through IOE after 80 hours. The FAA mins are 25 hours and the average is 40-50 with no jet experience. The most important question is, what are you doing flying for a 121 carrier? You have no business being in airplane. I am surprised that a company like SkyWest would hire something like you. If I were you, I would quit flying all together and find something that would be less dangerous to yourself and others. Did someone put a gun to your head to go to Mesa? The fact that you couldn't make it through IOE is your own damn fault. You can't blame Mesa nor the check airman for your stupidity.

As the saying goes, "Some birds were not meant to fly".


God Bless

I'm new here so I'm not familiar with your past that has been alluded too.... PM me if you wish.

I'm not saying I'm shooting for the bottom of the barrel. I'm applying numerous places, but wanted to know if only Mesa and GoJet come a calling, which would be best?
Just because CPZ and SKW are hiring doesn't mean I'm a shoo-in. I have no DUI, but you're still not guaranteed anything.

PM me if you'd prefer, but if you didn't make it through IOE, is the training department deficient? Has that happened to others?

Reasons for Mesa:

The good.....growing, not reducing. Good training department, no check airmen that are bad. East coast base to soon to be West coast base. With the amount of upgrades, you'll be able to hold out West 6-9 months from starting. Laid back crews for the most part, but I'm in IAD, so the others could be different. Hiring for the emb175, which if you want to go overseas is a great type rating to have. I fly the CRJ700 most of the time, which I enjoy.

The bad.....low pay. Nickel and dime us on other stuff that should have no cost. Hotels are usually by the airport. Some are bad, others are great. Schedules have gotten better, but that might depend where you are based. IAD schedules have a decent amount of days off, not sure about the other bases, but I don't think they are as good. We have ready reserve, some others don't.

This help any?
