New Mesa mins
I guess because of airlineapps.com I was put on a mailing list. I received this email today. I underlined the wierd part.
Mesa Air Group would like to announce new Pilot minimums of 500 hours of total time and 100 hours of multi-engine time. Mesa remains committed to our current hiring standards and looks forward to hearing from pilots who meet, come close or exceed the new minimums.
Mesa Air Group is planning on hiring approximately 600 pilots in 2007 into all equipment, CRJ, ERJ-145, DHC-8 and Beech 1900 . Pilots interested in seeking an interview should complete in full and publish their application on-line at www.airlineapps.com. If you have any questions please email [email protected].
Sincerely,

I hear ya. I didn't even consider putting out apps until I had 1200 hours. This 500 hours crap is insane.

I suggest that this get forwarded to USA Today, along with all the other "Reduced" minimums hiring . . .i.e. 850 SKYW, 800 Eagle, 600 XJT, etc . . .

Just out of curiousity, how is Mesa's 500/100 different from Pinnacle's, Trans State, Express Jet (600/100), Comair, ASA. It doesnt make much sense to me that you want to send it to USA today... That's not news worthy at all..
News flash 1000/100 doesnt make you a pro... 500 of that 1000 or 1200 is sitting in the right seat BSing with you student pilot. You weren't flying... You were along from the ride. Dont bash low time pilots, some of them have better experience than guys with 1200/100...
You suck Ellen... You know I had pitty for everyone bashing on HMP a couple months ago, but now you... All the low time pilots are gonna be bashing you soon... You suck... "I suggest that this get forwarded to USA Today, along with all the other "Reduced" minimums hiring . . .i.e. 850 SKYW, 800 Eagle, 600 XJT, etc . . ." What kind of crazy Sh!t is that

"Dont bash low time pilots, some of them have better experience than guys with 1200/100.."
It's not a perfect world. But hours/experience/ratings/background is how things are judged. UPS has 1000 PIC turbine as a min. If you have 800 PIC turbine, are you just as good? You can make the case either way, but you don't meet the stated standard, so it's a moot point.
I'd take a 1000 hour pilot sitting next to me before I'd take a 300 hour pilot. Though you like to preach it, there is no substitute for experience. I'll tell ya right now, the world isn't gonna change for a 19 year old kid who thinks he knows it all. Just give it up.
