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.
My bad, corrected above. Was in reference to SKW not taking E3's.

You are quite right, Im just saying there are a few options still open for Aussies...why pick one the bottom feeder if you have other choices that may be more pleasant to work for. The guys I have spoken to at Mesa have just told me they have they don't enjoy working there for many reasons. Your experience of course may vary.
