Maybe... but it's still true! Mesa will hire anybody!
Honest question, do you do anything else aside from the forums?

I think it's more of an attack on Mesa's hiring practices snowflake.

Hate to break the news, but SkyWest is pretty much doing the same thing. And don't try say they aren't. They are. Compared to 10 years ago, it's night and day. The training washes out the weak.

I just want to take this moment to point out that flip69 is not the MSP CRJ CA by the same name on our seniority list.

We still have an interview. As rare as it may be some guys don't make it past the interview. At Mesa there is NO interview.
If you think you can show up unprepared you will not get the job!

Agreed. Much easier than it used to be, but you still need to have a rough idea what aviation entails

Used to be hard to get on here. Now... not so much... multiple wash outs and 100 hour ioe tells the story!

SKW wash outs are not caused by poor training, but rather relaxed entry standards. This is a double-edged sword for applicants.

One one hand, an applicant who might not have gotten a chance in the past at least gets to try. A lot of it is up to them.

But some folks are just not going to make it, and now they have a training failure on their record. But they can always go try again at another regional.

The extra IOE in a lot of cases is to make up for older pilots who are rusty on instruments. Nothing wrong with that if the company wishes to spend the money, plenty of them are just fine pilots once they get up to speed. As long as they make the hard call at the end if needed.
