I saw two names on the roster today, both hired within the past four months, that I never thought I would see at the airlines. I worked at one of the largest flight academies in the country with these two individuals and to say that they were constant screw ups would be putting it nicely. They ended up getting axed which was pretty hard to do at the flight school level unless it was safety related.

Yea after going back to PHX for AQP a few weeks ago I stayed at the Best Western and talked with some of the new guys and they were definitely not the sharpest tools in the shed. Big shocker I know, and two guys mentioned that they had already had to stop at sim 7 and go pack to FPT, what a waste of money. Most of them if not all were older as well, like way older. Also the only rumor I picked up was the the E-Jet order will go from 18 to 25.

Aaaaand we lost the Four Points Sheraton MCI.
PIT, CLT, MCI, etc.--seems like they just keep whittling down the hotel standards over and over and all you new hires just keep piling in here like lemmings thinking you're gonna upgrade in 18 months...sigh
Personally, I like to feel comfortable that I'm still disease-free if the need arises to walk to the bathroom barefoot, but it looks like our new hotel in MCI has 106 of 202 Trip Advisor reviews of "Terrible" and something like bottom-5% of Trip Advisor rankings for the entire area.

I just stayed at the Sheraton MCI last week.

Yup, we can't seem to be keeping up with the attrition. Been hovering around 1200 pilots for as long as I've been keeping track (the last 7 months).

It changes to a nonbranded dump next month...look it up on the hotel list/PBS pairings for next month, and google the TripAdvisor reviews for it--sounds horrible:
Here is an essentially random sampling of quotes from countless "terrible" TripAdvisor reviews and photo captions:
"Just don't"
"Run not walk away from this hotel"
"Nasty!! Filthy, grungy. Run away from this one."
And the best comment for our new MCI hotel on TripAdvisor?: "Worst hotel I've stayed at in my 59 years."
Bye bye Four Points Sheraton!!! Hope you enjoyed your nights at that acceptable hotel while it lasted, El Dorado.

Why are pilots still coming to Mesa?
Lowest pay rate in the industry...no new contract in the near future...quick upgrade is gone...ALPA not defending our pilots and our worthless contract...slow attrition...and more.
Do not respond if you're a Kool-aid drinking management cheerleader.

Only quick upgrade is if you have the 121 time from another carrier. And it's only on the CRJ for now. There are 200+ guys coming up on their 1000 hours in the next few months and most are wanting the EJET.
