Anyone teach at Mesa Pilot Development?

[Bluecruiser]

Looking to see if anyone out there has recent employment experience at Mesa's Pilot Development school in Farmington as an instructor (not necessarily a student). They are supposed to have open positions to 'outside' instructors in the near future. Specifically, is the opportunity to instruct in a multi a reality--or just a possibility if I pay tons of money? I am not necessarily interested in flying for Mesa as a regional job or the promised-interview....just interested in teaching at a place where the students are enthusiastic and I can fly in a twin as well.

Thanks

MAPD multi time

Multi time at MAPD is a reality. You just might not build it as fast as you'd like.

In 1993, I was put in the Barons as soon as they could give me my 141 ride. One regular MAPD student was waiting for me to be standardized. I worked with him as well as the transient Mesa pay-for-interview ATP trainees. The rest of my students were single-engine students. During the term I worked at MAPD I got in about forty hours - not as much as I built during a similar period at ERAU - but still good time.

MAPD students are generally enthusiastic and motivated - maybe even too motivated for their own good, sometimes. But the real deal for MAPD instructors is still "the interview."

I did PM you my experiences at MAPD, but I would still urge you to apply.

Hope that helps some more. Good luck with however you proceed.
