Did you sign a promissory note during training saying you would pay it back if you quit early? I heard some classes this past year were not being asked to sign it.

Well, you have the option of quitting and never paying, or quitting and paying. I heard that some just quit, Mesa kept their last paycheck, and that was the end of it. But that was fairly recent, I think, so there may be more to it than that.
But don't take my word for it, that was all third hand info, and I do not work for Mesa.

It will be with your pria. Most airlines don't check the not rehirable box because of fears of being sued...but I heard Mesa did if you don't pay your training contract. Other regionals won't care if that box is checked, but the majors might.

Haha...anybody that leaves Mesa is eligible for rehire.

I was a June 2014 hire, and they came after me when I resigned 4 months later. Look at the wording in the contract carefully. I did manage to get credit from my date of hire, although initially they tried to pro-rate it only from the date of training. They sent me a couple e-mails, and then started the legal process before I resolved it with them.

Not eligible for rehire is not supposed to be in the PRIA paperwork, unless you were terminated.

So did you end up paying them back $8000?

Why would anyone sign a training contract in this environment? Is Mesa the only regional requiring one? I know Republic dropped their's a while back.
I'm looking at Mesa only because I live close to Dallas but I will cross it off my list if a training contract is required. Seems kind of crazy to require one in the current environment. It's one more reason to avoid a particular regional when you would think they would be changing things to make it a more attractive place to work, not less attractive.

Don't quote me, but it may be quietly going away. I know a guy who started last June, and he said no one in his class was asked to sign the PN. Mesa sends a copy marked on every page with a "SAMPLE" watermark, probably to suggest the potential still exists. Several pages back, someone from Mesa suggested there is a way around paying it back, but didn't elaborate publicly. You might be able to find his post and ask about it via PM.
Can you let us know the outcome?
