About the same as your chances of getting rode hard and put away wet at Mesa, which is to say, excellent.

 

[SpartyOn]

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

maybe you can fly the crj 900 for $21 a hour

Why the hard-on for an RJ?

What, are you kidding? Fly a prop? You got to be kidding. This guy probably has 800 hours, and wouldnt want his friends to see him fly a prop.

Do you really think he wants to fly 8 legs a day with no autopilot, in sh*tty weather, to learn what airline pilots before him had to go thru. No he knows everything and is wanting to fly that Virgin A320 for $50 an hour.


Its the "now" generation.

On average, your chances are good for the RJ, but it depends on what they need at that moment. One thing about the 1900 is that if you get that airplane they will tell you when you get the job offer since the training is in ICT.

If you are told to report to PHX, it will be CRJ, ERJ, or D-8, but you may not find out which until the first week of class.

Umm, BTW why would you contemplate mesa anyway? It really doesn't get much worse than that as far as 121 employers...

He must've seen the Mesa ALPA video and realized that Mesa pilots DO have more fun. Have fun, and remember to submit your $50 application fee. Every fee received goes towards helping J.O. buy another motorcycle.

Im asking cuz a lot of post about mesa hiring mostly talk about getting hired into the 1900. Im just curious as to what chances would anybody have about getting into the RJ.in response to that other guys post I have no problem flying a prop or anything like that...hey, turbine time is turbine time right? And im not interested in mesa really..i have heard a lot the horror stories

 

[SkyBoy1981]

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?

 

[SkyBoy1981]

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.

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).

 

[pgcfii2002]

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

 

[pdub20s]

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

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

 

[TopGun-MAV]

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!!
i was in a similar situation and now i am in training for jet captain. we have quick upgrades here. a fasttrack airline is what you want!

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.
