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?

Be well. Maybe you shoud talk to someone.

The IOE washout explains so many things. The funny thing is you imply that people only go to Mesa because of their lack of abilities, yet that's the very thing that apparently kept you out. But I'm glad you got a second chance elsewhere so you can still feel like you're a better pilot than everyone at Mesa. Maybe you washed out because you were just too good and the check airmen were threatened by your SKW pilot caliber skills. Ironoooooony.
At least you've obviously taken it all in stride and have been able to move on with your life... Glad it's not haunting you and you at least are man enough to not blame others for your failures and don't hold a grudge. Good job, brosephine.

What is wrong with some of you people? Yall sound like a bunch of 5 year olds, mods, can some of these people be deleted? I'm not going to mention any names FA but CE this BI is TER getting ridiculous.
Seriously, I used to think APC was a place to get some decent information, its really no better than a high school locker room anymore. And to think, some of you are flying airplanes, God help us!
And by the way, Mesa has a lot of guys from xjet, republic and skywest, as well as other carriers. Unless you've been employed here, dont pretend to know what you are talking about when it comes to Mesa. If you don't like Mesa, then don't freakin work at Mesa.
Before you post, maybe ask yourself if you are contributing to the discussion or just being a toolbag.

Mod Note:
Everyone should ask themselves if their post adds value to the discussion. If not, don't post. If you don't know if it does or not, don't post.
So just like so many other threads, what little intelligence and good manners have been exhausted and this thread will be closed. Anything last bits of stuff you can send the OP a PM and let him decide what to do with it.
I have a long standing appointment today but will come back later to clean up this stinky mess. Incredible that you guys are able to get jobs flying airplanes.
