Have you ever taxied around a busy Class B airport or been cleared for a visual approach 35 miles from the airport going 250?

I have plenty of experience taxiing at towered airports, but that's not the point. I expect to have to learn I'm not denying that. But there are two of us up there. At the end of the day, it's the captains ship, and I'll be there to observe and to learn the 121 environment.

Taxing around a busy "class b" is easier than taxing around a small poorly light closed tower airport. Nobody to yell at you the moment you make a mistake. Not
to mention, most class B airports use the same traffic flow day after day. Zzzzzzzzz.

Cleared for a visual 35 miles out. A basic 3/1 and configure early until one feels comfortable enough to start "pushing" it. This isn't an ego contest- and obviously traffic isn't an issue, being cleared that far out, so take your time.

Too bad "observation" isn't in the job description for a First Officer. I'd be pretty ****ed if a FO said to me "I'm just here to watch and see what you do." This isn't an internship.

They we're trying to sell me pretty hard on going to Mesa, they said I wouldn't have to sit reserve, I'd upgrade as soon as I got my 1000 hours of 121 flight time and that they're about to get a new "industry leading" contract. One of the recruiters, a larger guy, also hinted at the possibility of a merger with another CRJ carrier based in Chicago and Denver. I'm just wondering if there's any truth to any of this. I want to trust him, he seems very knowledgable about the 121 world. I've got some decisions to make so I want to be well informed. Thanks!
Do some research. Or don't they teach research in College anymore?

Read back a just a few pages in this thread.
The recruiters are full of crap.
They get paid big dollars to get people in the front door.

Unless you are in the top 300 on the seniority list here, your life is gonna be miserable.

Worst work rules in the business
Worst pay in the business
Worst benefits in the business

AND THERE IS NO MORE TWO YEAR UPGRADE!!!!!!!!!!

Do not let them tell you otherwise.

Ah.......the proverbial big dangling carrot.

You mean the one that the ALPA folks are trying to keep out of the United States???????

Nice try

Why is everyone responding to this person? Just let him talk and he will get puckered out and go to sleepy time.
