Really.
Just like you shouldn't upgrade until you have seen at least 2 full seasons. We all know how to push the thrust forward and deal with the the normal stuff, but when even the smallest change in the normal happens, those who are 'light' on TT, show their limited experience. You cannot, ever, teach experience.

I'll be honest with you, I had considered going to the mesa program before I made my schooling decision. I decided to get my degree at a regular university, then goto a dedicated flight school. I was lucky and had friends in the industry who warned me about the nature of the MGT at MAG. I didn't know what it meant, but I followed their advice, after instructing, I got a job a what I guess most people would say is a respectable regional, and after working here, and talking to other active Mesa pilots, there IS a HUGE difference. MAG is a horrible place to work. I know flying a shiny jet has it's lure, but their contract and QOL is really bad. You won't really know how bad it is until you experience it. If you don't have a family, don't care about being home, like being treated like crap, and can live off of scraps for money, then.....you can choose that route. But if any of those things are important, Mesa is NOT the right place. Mesa as a company, has done everything they can to ruin the regionals. I would never hope for someone to lose their job, but the company Mesa, needs to go. You are better off waiting for a regional and build your time as a flight instructor, besides...you are making more money now like that I am guessing than you will at mesa, and you are home....everynight...mesa guys on reserve....8-9 days off a month.
I am far from a sky god....I worked for all my hours...and paid up the butt. But anyone with less than 500TT really shouldn't be in a jet anyway....

Anyone with 500TT and cant look past the jet.. think its all good w/ 8 days off, crap QOL.. etc, fine... we can all say we told you so now. But there's no hope for those at the brainwash academy in AZ. i've lost good friends to that place.

You haven't experienced it. I do not see how you can be such an expert on what things are like at Mesa without working there.

Ahhhh......so same 500TT guy that ends up in the Dash-8...thats ok no? Being that the Dash (or 1900) is a heck of a lot harder than any jet to learn how to fly, you still stand by your silly statement?
Along with 500TT guys not being qualified enough for a jet (according to you), maybe GA time folks shouldn't voice ignorant opinions about what it takes to hack it in the regionals.

Nah, BA09 you need a little ****. *Hits Ignore* Ahhhh, much better. 
All regionals suck.
Last year's PREM-O regional is this year's last place (everyone furloughing is last place in my book, and my book is the only one that matters to me). Last year's loser can be this year's PREM-O. Still any regional is crap and the difference between the bottom and the top isn't much (OMFG, 2 dollars an hour difference from top to bottom, whoohoo, that's under $2K per year, for some, it's a big deal, for others it's not worth getting out of bed).
So, asking those who've been there, how did the group interview go?
