Mesa Interviews?
 

What dates are coming up for Mesa Interviews? They gave me one 15 hours after I applied, but it's not 'til August 28th!

What aircraft have an upgrade path that doesn't lead to company bypassing?

Please keep the bashing to a min, a "top tier" regional gave me a pink slip. They all suck!

Riiiiiight...I'm sure its the company's fault you pinked. Make sure you explain it that way in the interview.:rolleyes: I smell flamebait.

Yes they all suck cause you were pinked...keep telling yourelf that and you'll fit in well at Mesa.

Aug 28th? That means you'll start flying around February if you get hired.

It's called a furlough. It means you don't have a job anymore. The form letter was pink, too.

There are places to make money outside of aviation.

I was at Mesa for almost two years before going to ExpressJet. I'm about to be furloughed as well, but there is no way in hell I would ever go back to Mesa.

That being said, if you do decide to go there, I would ask for the Dash 8. Better quality of life and no seat fence. You'll be able to upgrade on either the Dash or the Jet. It won't matter though, they will put you where they want. I asked for the Dash or the 1900 and got the CRJ.

Anyway, if you really want to know about life at Mesa, or have other questions shoot me a PM and I'll answer them for you.

So what "top-tier" regional furloughed you? Let see; SKW/ASA haven't furloughed, RAH/Horizon/XJT plan on furloughing but haven't yet, same with Eagle........................so what “top tier” regional pinked you? TSA? :confused: Or did you fail out of the course?

I’m not bashing you; most pilots would just go back to 135 or 91 until their “top-tier” airline recalled them.

I have been looking for jobs in 135 and 91, there are none available. They are ready to furlough also. Many will also require a contract.

I don't think anyone will have a difficult time explaining a furlough at a job interview. It is so common now that 99.9% of the people interviewing will be in that situation.

I am very skeptical what Mesa is up to. If they are so desperate for pilots, why is their job fair in August and interview dates in August. They should be next week. Also, they had a huge pool prior to 2 weeks ago. I am sure they have filled up classes in August but you would think they would want to fill up September as fast as possible.

Good luck to anyone that feels they need apply to their last choice airline in order to pay their bills. We have all been humbled and no one is safe.

In Mesa's infinite wisdom, then haven't been looking ahead and have no sim time available. With the CRJ sims so high in demand, it's tough to find any slots. They've lately resorted to creating a new FAA approved 700 course so they can train pilots in the 700 sims, rather than relying on the traditional 200 course. You can be hired, go through ground, then wait 6 months for the sim.
