What was the Mesa interview like?

Well, first, you have to acquire this magical device called a telephone. Then, you must pick it up and grunt when asked if you want a class date.

You made a HUGE mistake by narrowing your choices down to PSA or Mesa. Either way you were screwed. At this point I would tell you to apply somewhere else before even starting class at Mesa...but I have a funny feeling it will fall on deaf ears. So let me just say this: good luck with your career. You will need it.

He's right you know... Go to PDT or ENY if you don't wanna wait for PSA and limit your legacy choices to UAL and DAL.

I would say anywhere but mesa, psa and gojet. With the only exception being if you live in one of their bases that no other regional has a base at. Commuting sucks, and living in base at a crap regional might be better than commuting to a
more reputable one.

No actually he's not right. You'd have to be a complete moron to go to a regional for a flow right now...especially one where you're gonna be stuck in the right seat indefinitely. For anyone getting hired right now, it would take a bare minimum of 10 years to flow at any wholly owned...more likely 20 years. In the next 5-10 years, anyone qualified who wants to be at a major will be. Except the people who worked for a WO'd...they can't get hired at Amercian without their 20 year flow. You guys seriously need to put down that Flow Koolaide

Considering also the fact AA has said they are bringing as much feed in house as they can and want to hire only from the wholly owneds you are limiting yourself to 2 legacy airlines if you don't come to one of the 3.

Dream a little dream buddy. If you honestly think rolling the dice on Mesa and getting hired at DAL v 5 years at PDT and a Guaranteed job at AA. Go for it man.

Might be fun to request a class date via text, just to see if they respond.

not everyone at a regional wants to go to a major...
