oh and regarding my original question, can anyone actually answer the question rather then just tell me to stay away from Mesa?

thanks

If you get somebody to walk your resume in, they might look at less than the published mins.

01, have you thought about driving the ditch? Canyon tour flights add up fairly quickly, most multi upgrades are quick, and the pic single pilot stuff is good for the experience. Just wondering.

To answer the question: Get someone to walk it in to whichever company you're going for. If you can't do that, find the fax number and address to the person who responsible for hiring. Fax the resume or Priority Mail (or both) a hard copy to them. The Priority Mail thing ensures they will have to sign for it and at least open it. Whether they do anything about it or not is up to them.

My own 2 cents: Don't go to Mesa. My sim partner went to Mesa, absolutely hated it, and turned around and just came to another regional. I stayed a CFI until I got some better time and actually loved it. Of course, it was a salaried job, I worked with all my friends, and I got to do whatever I wanted so the situation was definately favorable for me to stay. If you're really struggling for a CFI job I can give you some places to check out. Worse comes to worse you can always move to Florida. That state goes through CFI's like Rosie O'Donnell goes through fried chicken.
