Mesa Airlines
Hi guys/girls.
I see that Mesa Airlines are willing to take Aussies on E3 Visas on their latest FO advertisement.
Anyone working for Mesa Airlines at the moment that can share some information, good or bad, about the company? I’m especially keen to hear from Australians that made the move over on the E3 Visa?
Thanks in Advance

Having a read through “The Aussies are coming” thread it seems like SkyWest, Envoy and Mesa make the E3 Visa route possible.
I would like to know how the Aussie guys get past the Social Security Number on the online application as it is mandatory to fill in and you can’t proceed with your application without it. Being Aussie I obviously don’t have a SSN so cant complete my online applications.
I might just use the recruitment email details on Pilot Career Center to get in touch with the recruiters directly.

If the target regional uses airlineapps.com, they have a support function where they might be able to answer about the SS#:

Mesa is the bottom of the barrel, run as far as you can. Go Skywest or Piedmont.
Did the company offer any reason for their change of heart ? And...you found that level of interest among your (100+) countrymen ?
If Envoy isn't now available to them, are they applying to other US regionals ?
As for Envoy they have their reasons for not accepting E3 applicants, it's not for me to publicly reveal. However other wholly owned AA regionals are hiring E3 applicants.

Just as a single example, it is the airline which made the "Mesa Board" famous. What is the Mesa Board you ask? Well, excellent question. The Mesa Board is a piece of plywood which is as wide as the seat length of a 1900, and long enough to span the aisle of a 1900. It's just a little too big to conveniently stow inside of a legal carry-on suitcase, so it is pretty obvious if a pilot is carrying one. They existed because Mesa would schedule their crews for a late arrival and early departure at an outstation, but would not provide a hotel room, because technically, the flight did fell within the 121 duty time limits, so wasn't an "overnight" even though they were remaining at the outstation overnight by the dictionary definition of "overnight". The pilots would make and carry these pieces of plywood so that they could sleep in the airplanes, stretched out across the aisle.
I don't know if this is still the practice, likely not. But ask yourself; do you want to work for an operator who formerly treated it's aircrew like that? They may have been forced to improve some conditions, but has their fundamental philosophy on how employees should be treated changed?

I would think long and hard before applying to Mesa. They are just about the bottom of the barrel.
