Guys do you think that Mesa will lose the contract with United and Skywest will take over Houston with 175s ? I was considering to apply for Mesa because of the base but Skywest is a better place to work for sure. Thank you for any advise

He should be. Nobody has quite yet cracked the code as to what the HR filters are looking for, but we've had more than a few FO's with 1,001 turbine 121 SIC go to majors, even legacies.
If nothing else they seem to like sustained long-term interest (update your app every month or two). Upgrade's right around the corner, better to be the guy with 1,000 TPIC who's had his app in (and updated) for several years than the guy with 1,000 TPIC who just applied yesterday.

He will probably be hired well before a great majority of captains at SkyWest as well if he keeps up this level of interest. There are so many CAs here who had applied a leap year ago and update every three months, they do not attend job fairs and do not volunteer. I think the captain that wins the Darwin Award is the guy who complained nonstop over a four day trip why United isn't calling...upon probing a little further, he hasn't even applied!!
No wonder that they're taking young, motivated FOs over lazy dinosaur captains.

Can anyone on this forum just accept maybe someone has a different opinion than theirs without making a personal remark? I generally get along with everyone here. Sounds like I ruffled some feathers just saying you can log it? Mainline apps will have you clarify the difference anyways.
