Mesa Interview

[got_jumpseat?]

No reliable source... just common sense indicates the TA is substandard.

Ah, no reliable source, well you said it.

Looks like as we are debating this BS on the web, Lori Clark is gearing up for a round of street interviews next week. I'm your reliable source on that one.

NewBomb,

Thanks for the info.

Are you an ALPA member at present time? Is that why you didn't go with Freedom? From my understanding, ALPA does not condone accepting a posistion with Freedom(or else!). A guy at ALPA said Freedom is or is going to be scrubed. Is this true?

If the TA is signed.

Freedom is done. Mesa will be back to one pilot group. Growth will be near exponential. 59 new jets are already financed and deliveries have already begun. All will be delivered by December and under Jets for Jobs Mesa will be getting more deliveries before the end of the year. The union is talking about a 5000 strong pilot group by mid 2007 with the potential for much more if the United rumors are true. The contract pay and QOL sucks, but hiring and job security will be a lock. If you come on just be prepared for a Comair like strike at the end of 07 and 08.

If the TA is not signed, Mesa folds as an entity and all the flying and hiring will be shunted over to union busting Freedom.

Looks like it's time to have someone walk in my resume?

Avatrix... Still Furloughed?

Just checking to see how your sweet job with Eagle is... Are you going to re-apply to Mesa now that you are out on the street?

If I remember correctly... you did not speak highly of YV/ZV the last time you were lurking here. I'll do my best to make sure that you get the 1900 this go around. Read the TA, it will make the hair on the back of your neck stand up.

Brett,

No, Im not a member of ALPA. I would do anything for a job with the airlines right now, however Freedom wasn't one of them. I still have to be able to look at myself in the mirror every morning. If you're not sure what I'm talking about there are plenty of threads concerning Freedom on this site that will fill you in. Hopefully myself and the rest of the holdouts in the pool from last years interview will get the call this summer. Good luck.

I just talked to Lori, she is so inundated with so many resumes she hasn't even gotten to all the applications with recommendations yet.

Mesa interview. I asked straight up about the Freedom fiasco, but couldn't get a straight answer. Your best guess is mine.

 

[got_jumpseat?]

Mesa, very cool. BTW I wouldnt ask about freedom from here on out. you never know who is interviewing you.

 

[WileE]

Keep an eye on the TA

If it is voted down, everyone in the hiring pool will be instantly switched to Freedom. The offer will be to take it or go back to the back burner.

I posted my interview experience with Mesa at www.aviationinterviews.com . It was June of 2001, however if things have not drastically changed, it should be helpful. I included as many of the ATP written questions and tech questions as I could remember.

I sent in my resume, but after my friend (a former Mesa checkairman) sent in an Email to Lori Clark with a personal recommendation, I got a call that night. An inside connection gets the most attention it seems.

Did the people who have recently been called to interview with mesa have their resumes walked in, or did you just mail in the application that Lori Clark sent. I am just trying to get an idea of what is going on. Thanks.
