I would just like to point out that it doesn't matter if you called for that wheelchair or not; Ops isn't going to call for it either way.

Sorry SharkAir, maybe I have been conditioned to dislike airline management (it wasn't always that way). It has just been my experience that management will shake your hand with their right hand while holding a knife in left. About 5 years ago I got out of the Army and truly respected the officers and leadership appointed over me, the greatest leadership I have ever had, then got out and received the cold reality of 121 airline management that would stab their mother, lie, cheat and darn near due anything to make more money and get that next bonus or promotion.
Maybe I have had just a few bad experiences but but forgive me for not just throwing blind trust towards them anymore.

Come on, even I know that GoJet isn't good for me, my family, or pretty much anyone.

I have worked at few as a ramper, crew scheduler and dispatcher. Trust me seeing what really goes on at airline headquarters will make you sick. That why I am desperately trying to make the switch to a pilot career. At least then I don't have to see the corruption ever day going to work. Also everyone here needs to be careful about talking about management in detail because I bet some management types read these forums also.
Dont get me wrong there are the good ones but also the bad ones.

As a Mesa pilot, I say go for it! "Apply" pretty much means "Get Hired." We need pilots so bad you'll get hired as long as you breathe (and have 500 total time and 50 multi - they say 100 multi, but my sim partner only had 1000/50). But yeah, once you're in, get out. All you need is a couple hundred hours in the CRJ and options open up everywhere.
As a perfect example, my ground school buddy got hired for Mesa and flew about 3 months. He acquired about 240 hours in the CRJ, which put him way above the flight instructor applicants, and applied to Colgan. He was immediately hired and put into the EMB-170 (wing mounted engines, auto-throttle, look it up). Sweet deal for him, if you ask me.
Personally, I'm flying 20 hours per month in Hawaii with a water-proof beeper and can't make myself move away... Surfing is addicting

. Actually they fly Saabs, 1900's and have orders for Q400's but NO EMB's. Not even their new parent company fly’s or has them on order. I think RAH (in the US) is the only company currently operating EMB-170’s, others have orders but I don’t think anyone has taken delivery.
