MESA Equipment.

If I were you I would be hoping for the 1900 or Dash 8. You'll upgrade a hell of a lot quicker. I mean, if your job is going to be living hell...it might as well be from the left seat.

BWHAHAHA thats funny... what is the upgrade time in those 2?

I don't work for Mesa, but my understanding is that both of those are pretty quick. They were hiring street captains for the Dash a few months ago.

What are the chances of getting hired into a RJ at Mesa? from my understaning most new hires are getting into the 1900

I think you will look really cool in the jet. Mom and Dad will love you more. And you might even lose your virginity.

Then do yourself a favor and don't work there.

Lots of newhires coming though the pipeline for the CRJ right now. (side note: IAD and ORD captains . .. . LOOK OUT!!!)

It's a crap shoot, really.

Mesa is really like a box of chocolates, . .. yadda, yadda, (but you're gonna be alergic to that chocolate after a couple of weeks of ready reserve or camping trips).

Just don't forget the hair gel, IPod and personality of an annoying 16 year old girl.

Wow,mesa really sounds like hell? how can the pilots allow themselves to be treated that way?

Since FOs are seat locked unitl they upgrade your chances are probably pretty good considering Mesa's ratio of jets to turbo props.

Surely that isn't true, is it??????

your chances are good that you will be put in the rj jumble jet. however your lack of experince may place you jepardy of busting your checkride. study hard my friend!!

Yes, it is. Equipment lock for life saves money on training events.

You can only upgrade into your airplane, and T-prop guys have the option of waiting and upgrading into the jet. Jet FO's are stuck.
