Mesa Fan Club said:It starts next week. I just got my letter today. It said bring your biggest sunglasses and wear them indoors. Also bring your leather coat. Although if you wear it you need to have your collar up at all times. They do supply all of the new hires with company issued rainbow stickers for our flight case. Its going to be sweet. See you in class.

Why are you checking IDs? You work for TSA (not the airline)?mnalpha said:one more thing to add. there has been many times in phl when a mesa pilot sees me looking at his ID and then we make eye contact and he looks away. I know he knows what we are both thinking. so once again shut up...

FlyBunny said:Pairways, don’t listen to anyone here…you’re with a progressive outfit and enjoy building quality flight time. One thing no one can take away from you is that you’d be an airline pilot, flying turbine, and most likely you’d have the quickest upgrade than most of these guys who are stuck with airlines with longer upgrades. You, me, no one, or all of us collectively would NEVER be able to help them (folks like ‘mnalpha’) overcome their bitterness, exasperation, inferiority complex, and insecurity.
Not long ago one of my friends got hired by Mesa…he had the same dilemma whether to go to Mesa or ACA (back in 2002). Everyone was putting him down for working for Mesa, but he knew best. Went there, quick upgrade, now he’s with Jet Blue. Believe me no one cares who you fly for. Especially majors.
You see the venomous attitude on this board because all these pilots who have entered on the regional level from CFI jobs or no CFI jobs, suddenly start acting as the ‘know it all’ and as the Icons of the Airline Industry, presenting themselves as the ones with Morals and Values of all kind, especially about which airlines ‘they’ think everyone else should fly for.
Just do the research on this board and you’d see that the same person who couldn’t stop singing Comair praise, was putting it down not long ago. On the regional level my friend, well, think of it as a ‘stepping-stone’. Go where’s best for you, do the best job, learn as much, and in the end move on.
People like ‘mnalpha’ would be at every corner trying to put someone down. These are the people who have nothing positive to say about anything in their life and of course they think they got the ‘industry’ figured out. If you don’t work for the company they want you to work, then you’re no good.
I don’t know ‘it all’, but I sure know that you did a good job getting through the Mesa interview and being offered a job. Study hard, do well in training, and fly as much as you could. It is a good outfit as any…don’t get in to the politics of it all. Uniform doesn’t matter as much as your safe flying.
By the way, my friend who went to Jet Blue from Mesa once, while jump-seating, received a long lecture from a ACA J31 captain (early 2003) about his morality to work for Mesa. Well, about couple of months ago, it just so happened that the same ACA captain (who got furloughed and is now flying for a different regional as a F/O) wanted to jumpseat from BOS…and guess what…my friend was in the F/O seat for the Jet Blue plane…you can only imagine the ACA pilot’s expression. When my friend told his captain later on about his earlier encounter with the jump-seater, the captain said: "…you should’ve told me that." You know what my friends said to his captain. "…no, he has no class, but I do."
Good luck in your training!

Ooh. You must be one of those super dorks who updates his hours and a/c flown in his flight info profile every other week. Good one Encyclopedia Brown. Couldn't be that in the last two years, he's moved on from being a CFI!RP170 said:That's pretty deep coming from a CFI. He definitely knows the industry and you should listen to him for sure.

Cloudroller said:I think the next class starts sometime in Jan. Pairways the flybunny is right most of the guy's that complain on this board are the same smucks that complain about everything else. Its pretty sad when guys these 4 years ago want to be your best friend, they you get furlowed. Do J4J end up at Mesa with many other J4J. All all they do is talk sh!t. RP170 - Do you ever have anything positive to say? It seems that you are a know it all.
