FlyNavy,

Oh right now I'm out here bumming around at my Mom's waiting for a groundschool with Mesa. Finally moved from the 'burg after being the Corps' recruiting officer for 4 yrs (a la CPT Page when you were there I think).

Hmmm Lloyd, I did several six months stints of flying around in circles day and night to keep you guys safe.

There's a lot of water out there and Marine pilots get pretty sketchy, the farther out to sea you go!

If our birds were down they refused to fly. If they did they didn't go to far from the ship!

FlyNavy, welcome. Not a VT alumnis, but definitely a lifetime Hokie fan. My father's from Blacksburg, uncle is alumni, and my Grandfather was Director of Student Dining Facilities from 52' till 88'

Are you doing Mesa's MAPD thing? Have fun in Farmington!

Hey H46 Bubba, did you know Dave "Swede" Goodwin? He was an H-46 pilot in a former life, before he transitioned to Prowlers. Long shot, I know, but...
 
Yea, left the burg in April, did MAPD's Pace prgm, finished in Oct, now just waiting to start down in Phoenix. Ha farmington was as if you took all of christiansburg and put it out in the desert three hrs away from anywhere worth being! Wasn't too bad though, SW VA prepared me well!

And for those waiting for a job at Mesa, two things:

(1) It'll be awhile before any newhires see a ground school.

(2) Apply everywhere but here. Trust me.

Sorry, haven't heard of him. What HC command did he come from?

Can't remember! Oh well.

Break break,

Hey Bog & HokiePilot,, what is the hold up at Mesa? Are you talking about CRJ ground school that you're waiting for?
 
Who knows what equip the class will be for, from what I've heard It'll probably be in March. Bog would have more accurate and current info. What I've been told is that the holdup is Air Midwest (part of Mesa Air Group) shut down their B1900 florida operation so the training dept is busy transitioning them to the jet while putting us on hold.
 
No need to wait for class here. I started mine over 5 years ago. And as each day passes, I regret more and more not going to Skywest.

The 1900s in the FL system were yanked, so a few of those folks are going to the RJs. Next, we'll have 10 more 1900s heading to Big Sky, so there's another 30-60 Beech drivers heading for the RJ. We're only taking delivery of CR9s right now, and only about 10, soooo ... yeah it'll be awhile before we do any kind of hiring.

Do yourself a favor and apply at Skywest, Chautauqua, ExpressJet, Air Whisky, and Pinnacle. Don't forget Horizon, Comair, and ASA. You'll be better off.

Regional Airline of the Year ... yeah, we at Mesa got a HUGE laugh out of that one.
