firefly, I am glad to finally agree with you on another thread. Airborne, I was getting anxious and sent my app out everywhere. I was then given very good advice and waited out for a good company. I couldn't be happier.

Thanks :confused:

Do you have a criminal background or something? That is the only reason I can think of that would make someone go to mesa (they would still hire you there).

Neither... you may die at TSA because they are actually upgrading 1500TT wonders next month. Friends don't let friends fly TSA (or Mesa).

PSA and ASA are hiring just as low time as Mesa or TSA... try one of those.

Or try Pin or Eagle.

neither.....be patient, build up your time, and apply to one of the top-tier regionals (SkyWest, AAEagle, Republic family)

Right on. Follow this advice and you'll be much happier in your career. Really. End of thread.

There are sooooooooooooooo many other places better than those two. Just start sending resumes to every single one of them. You'll get at least a few phone calls out of the deal and will be so much happier. Heck, you'll be winning in the bargain by just avoiding feeling suicidal!

Most places are at least eager, if not desperate, for pilots.

XJET
Eagle
Mesaba
CHQ family
Skywest
ASA
Comair
PCL

etc etc.

Some of the ones I just listed may be in doldrums or less than ideal, but they are ALL much better than Mesa or TSA.
