I just can't wrap my head around why so many view the interview as being so important at the regional level in this climate.

Because people still have to pass training, depending on the aircraft, regionals are paying $30,000-$50,000 to send someone to training. Some regionals still have standards when it comes to hiring.

There is the answer. You aren't intelligent enough to understand the importance of the interview process.

What are you achieving by having an interview, if you are hiring our own failures and fires?
Your ad-hominem attack shows that you can't answer the question.

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.
Wow, that's quite the theory. I would be curious to know if you interviewed anywhere else besides Mesa and how many people turned you down. Good luck when you have to interview at a major. You better be happy with that 65 an hour your bragging about.

Well Eaglepilot, if I went to Envoy, I would be capped at 40$, and still be on reserve as an FO. But hey, you do pay your CA's more 😂

That, dear Sir, is a crock of crap. Whether or not one does an interview in person, one typically gets a CJO. And even with an interview, people fail out of training. At every airline, be it regional or major. As I am sure you know, there are darn good people who attend interviews who never get a CJO at a major, based on HR craziness.

Standards my butt. If that were the case, AQP wouldn't be the norm now. We'd all be doing things the hard way as folks 10-20 years ago had to do.

See my post above. It will save me typing a LMAO in response to your post.

Envoy has a 95% pass rate. And that's only because we have a solid interview process in place.

And also, we don't hire your failures and fires, or anybody else's failures and fires.
