I would say that in the past we've only asked CFI's to interview. If any are called for an interview, who are not a CFI, let's hear from you. To all of you newbies...see ya on the line!!

Actually, at least two of the four other guys in my interview last week were not CFIs ever... but they also seemed to get asked more/tougher questions in their hr/tech interviews by what they were saying. And I don't know if they got the job or not.

I'm considering applying to Mesaba. 675 TT, 100 ME. Not a CFI (working on it though), have an A&P (for what that's worth), graduating with 4 year degree this May. By my graduation I anticipate having 700/125 or thereabouts.

Do most airlines like to see CFI's if you are fairly low time like me?

Read the gouges at aviationinterviews.com and have a good attitude. Very straight forward interview. Know a little bit about the company's history. I don't think it matters much if you do or don't have your CFI, though it would definitely help. Out of the four that were in my interview group, 3 were CFIs, 1 was part 135 no CFI.

Yes, go in there and tell them that they just completed one of the worst sham bankruptcies ever and screwed all of their employees over royally, making them the lowest paid FOs and captains on the 900 in the industry.

Snap backs or not, I feel horrible for you mesaba guys that have been there all along. When you guys start your negotiations in a couple years with the pile of 900's you might have by then, i hope you stick it to them just like we are trying to do to Pinnacle Management

Actually mesa still pays lower. Better work rules at mesaba and better future. Northwest is more to blame for the bankruptcy than anyone else. No flowthrough, but realistically what flow through has ever worked out good for the regional level?

I have heard that you do get a small measure of respect for being a CFI. But, I havent interviewed yet.
