Mesa Interview/ Training

[lamank]

I'm looking for anyone that has previously gone through a Mesa interview and training to provide a little feedback about what a new guy might expect. Thanks in advance for the help.

Here we go,
#1-Kneepads
#2-Industrial size vat of KY
#3-Overwhelming need to hit the bottom of the industry, square in the
sphincter.
P.S. The ability to hum while your mouth is full, will gain more points during the interview, than having flight time.

way to go pbr, we appreciate it. imagine living it.

i'm assuming you are going to mesa as the 1900 slots have been all filled.....expect 2 months of ground school and sim. they are hiring right now into the crj and dash so expect that equipment (there is a small upgrade erj class going on in sept so maybe jungle jet also). i ahve heard the dash training has the highest washout rate of them all. i have heard from some fo's that the instructors in the crj are very demanding and teach very little (take it for what it is worth). i ahev heard from the 1900 guys going over for cpt slots that they were "rushed" through and instructed very little, almost like they wanted them to fail, again it is mesa......

Don't come here. You won't like it. Go somewhere else.

The Dash department has a VERY bad reputation. The CRJ dept actually does a pretty decent job.

ERJ has a very high pass rate also.

Hey Vespa, did you pass? Then the instructor did his job. He did what it took to get you through. You should be happy with that. The training is only as hard you make it based on how prepared you are. It is not a spoon fed program, you have to work at it and accept your results. Some part 91 guys ace the program with no problems and some military guys might not even make it through the oral. The more 121 ground schools that you go through the better you will get at preparing.

WHAT! Hey Jake, you ever get in a car with a drunk driver? Did you make it where you were going? He did what it took to get you through? Assuming you did, does that mean the driver should be rated as high as a skilled sober driver? Just because you made it doesn't make up for the three cars you almost pushed off the road or the pedestrian that had to dive out of your way as you swerved past. Good instructors make sure their students aren't confused. Success isn't the only goal. How you get there is very important. Granted, you can't teach everybody and as a student you have to be willing to put in the work. But the difference between good instruction and bad instruction is huge.

Why would you want to work for those rats at mesa???? I assume you're a flight instructor and you get paid for every minute you fly. You won't at mesa, they only pay what the flight is scheduled for. So if the flight is scheduled for 1.5 and you fly for 3.0, you just flew for 1.5 for free. Ask some of the current rats there what they do to swallow that sh*t sandwich, but don't ask if they voted for the current contract because apprantly no one there did.
