Not a flame bait...simply looking for advice for a friend.
I am writing this for my friend. She interviewed at two different airlines, didn't get it. She recently interviewed at Mesa and got the job. She has an interview invitation from Air Wis, but she will be starting a class with Mesa by then. 1400 total/300 ME She is afraid of rejection, but more than that, she is afraid that she may not have any airline job in a few months. (....if she turns down Mesa class and fails Air Wis interview...) Mesa makes you sign 12 months contract every time you get trained, and they may not offer her any later class date.
I told her...If she is so afraid of not having an airline job, then go ahead and work for Mesa, get some Part 121 experience and use that as a stepping stone to go some where else.....like Skywest, Air Wis after a six months, a year.
Her questions to you all...
1. Being a Mesa Pilot, does that make her look bad when she goes and interview at other airlines? Do airline management not want to hire Mesa pilots?
* I told her they don't care. They just want some pilots with Part121 experience.
2. Does it make her look bad(to the future employer) when she breaks the current employer's (Mesa) contract?
* I told her they didn't care about that either. They just want to hire pilots!
I appreciate your time and she will be checking out your advice. Safe flying!
