I got the phone call today that I was hired by Mesa Airlines for a CRJ First Officer position. I know that most people around here have a negative opinion of Mesa, but I think it really is what you make of it.

I will be able to upgrade to Captain in less than a year. You can't do that at too many airlines. I'll also make considerably more money than I do at Ram Air once I upgrade.

I'll also be able to hold CLT as a base after about six months or so. That is a huge plus for me.

Once I start building up the turbine PIC time, I should become marketable for a good corporate job out there. Flying for a corporate or fractional company is my long term goal.

Overall, I am very pleased and look forward to starting class on June 30th.
