Moral of the story, tread carefully with Mesa at the moment.
LostWanderer,

Not sure I'm following here.

What specifically took place at Mesa that "...resulted in numerous terminations for Aussie folk..." ? Was the training insufficient to get people through and on to the line ? Or were the pay and life on the line too substandard to bear ?

And as for the issue of Aussies coming here to fly at regionals, isn't the goal of most to just get into a jet, get an ATP and some air carrier line flying to move onto something bigger and better most likely elsewhere ?

If that's the case, wouldn't Mesa serve the purpose of short term pain/long term gain ? Not ideal but serving the larger purpose ?

A limited number of regonals take E3s.
