Why anyone with a Comm/Inst/ME would want to blow $10k-$12k to fly at a place like Mesa is just beyond me.

Alright, maybe I do come off as a tool...but payback is something I am notorious for. I dont forget those who right me and those who wrong me. It was an offer, not a demand. SG, if I run into you, coffees on me. Fosters, youre buying your own.

Soon MAPD and other "cadet" or "direct entry" programs will be the norm for regional and perhaps major airline employment.

At the rate things are going it is going to become the norm for direct entry to the majors. If they even exist in the future.

Someone does you a favor and you want them to pay you? Get over yourself, and quick.

And no, it wasn't an "offer". You can't "offer" to *let* someone pay you, you ask.

Whatever dude. :rolleyes:

Im already in debt to them, so why not go a little deeper...which if you think about it is shallower than Riddle then Pace...

Where is home for you if you dont mind me asking...cause there are only a few places that I can think of where "whatever dude" constitutes a conclusion...

Huh?

When I was at MAPD I met a riddle guy, $150k in debt. He had the same thought - he couldn't do anything about the $$ so why not spend more! LOL. Poor SOB.

Someone please answer, why the heck would you want to spend $12k on PACE to work for Mesa? This is Mesa we're talking about, isn't it? Led by JO? We are talking about the same Mesa aren't we?

Who? Someone who's too lazy. Someone who doesn't want to instruct to get to 1000 and would rather pay to solve their problems. That's the basis for pay for training.

is that a pun or just irony?

As for AirWillie, he mentions instructing. I mentioned before, I dont want to instruct because I know there would be no joy out of it for me. No joy out of it means no joy for the students I teach. Instructors should be doing it because the passion is there, not because theyre 'lazy'; theyre the ones who are trying to get the younger ones enthused. Ive ran into a few instructors who were just in it for the hours...times like those I really thought about taking the ATC track...
