If you break it down to broad strokes of young vs old.....you're an idiot. Plain and simple. I've trained 'old crop dusters' that are great and past fighter pilots that can't understand two engine differential thrust or simple comms to save their life - AND VICE VERSE! Get off your soap box new captains. If you're a great captain/leader, then you will adjust to your new FO; not the other way around. If you're *****ing about weak FOs, that says more than you know about your lack of skills. We have all needed help along the lines. That includes you. Why do you think the training department is so good?
If you're thinking about coming to Mesa, don't. Think long term. I.E. - If the market in China crashes in a few months, where do you want to be stuck at for the next 10 years? As a Mesa FO making damn near minimum wage or as a more progressive regional FO making 2-3X that?
Edit: Appearantly you can't ****ing cuss on here. Are we not adults?

As far as Ejets, I've been told by one person in upgrade that there is more CA's leaving than upgrading right now, most going to Spirit, Jet Blue, and a couple to mainline. Also heard that the Ejet is more automated than an Airbus. Call me crazy, I like having something to do while flying.

One is not painting a broad brush that all 2nd career/retirement age pilots just getting into this career are horrible; simply, that these folks have a much more difficult time with the automation on the E175.
I hope I have simplified the topic at hand enough for your understanding.

I moved up 11 numbers and it certainly wasn't all EJET Captains. Some CRJ left too. That was by far the biggest jump in the last 18 months. Historically, 1-2 EJET Captains have been leaving a month. Since we've been upgrading around 10 Captains a month for most of the preceding 18 months, to say we're losing more Captains than we're upgrading is not even close. Don't get me wrong, I hope it changes, and I hope this month is the first of many that Mesa Captains get to move on in bigger numbers.

That damn algorithm they have to determine who gets the Hogan is frustrating. I've got friends with excellent experience, clean records, awesome GPA, LOR's, job fairs......yet their phone doesn't ring. Meanwhile, we've got new-hires who have the gall to pull their phone out during their LOE.
