Should they just give you the job because you say you have a pilots license and therefore must be cool and awesome?

Anyone who believes this is an idiot. You are given a class date, you don't have the job until you pass IOE and are flying the line.
Tell me, why does spending tons of money to fly people to an interview, to ask you stupid questions, that could be answered over the phone, make any sense? You still have to prove yourself in training, regardless. Only thing that Mesa can't do is discriminate against you for being ugly.

In this context, the pilot shortage will not be so bad at all
Wow, just wow. Good luck on the interviews!

If they are willing to do that, they might as well just given you a class date, saved the silly dog and pony show for something else

Delta will not provide a ticket for the interview if you are overseas. Demestic ticket only.
