300tt, 81PIC, 23ME=JOB
 

Was looking over a web site and this one guy got the job with only 300tt. Just wondering how often this occurs or did the guy just have really good connections? I know its Mesa, but still it is an airline job.

That has to be a joke. Read the rest of his report, age 41, called 1 week after resume sent in, 2 year degree, current job part 121, NO letters of recommendation? I know it's Mesa, but come on there's no way they hired this guy. If they did they must have been DESPERATE at the time.

Yea i did read it, and that is why i was so shocked. It seemed like the guy had nothing going for him.

Nothing at all...kind of looks like aviationinterviews.com was using it to advertise, who knows though. Honestly though, I cannot imagine ANY airline hiring a pilot with times and a background like that. I think teaching in 172's would be more for this guy until he gets around 1000 pic.

I think he is MAPD from their Suan Juan College Program.

At least he went to the ERJ so I don't have to babysit him...woohoo! :eek:

Must have gone thru one of mesa's programs at some point

It does look funny next to the military guy with 4500tt and 3900 pic with a 4 year degree.

They only hire 300 hour pilots who did their pay-for-training program. For anyone off the street it's 1000/100.

Why would you have 350TT and only 81PIC. How is that possible. Did this guy spend 100hrs on his private, flying dual. Just don't get it.

When I worked at MAPD in FMN there were plenty of guys who were hired <250TT and 20 ME. It's nothing new there, sorry...it's been that way since 1989 (however they went to the beech back then, not the RJ).

FYI, these guys still go through Mesa's training program (indoc, systems, sim) and don't pay a dime for it. They do pay for their flight training just like everyone else sans military did it. Hell, their A36 goes for what I paid for a 172 when I did my ratings, and their CFI costs are HALF what I paid. Calling this PFT is a bit of a strech IMO...
