Ways to gain flight hours?
A friend of mine told me that if I got an internship for Mesa-Air, then they would let me fly PIC, but the catch is they don't pay, and you fly 8 routes every month. Do other airlines have similar offers?

The pilot hiring numbers are such, in USA and Europe, that soon, all the airlines will offer free flying to their pilots - and no salaries will be offered - and evidently, USA pilots will fall for that "flying no matter how low the salary" attitude - I hope that the passengers will soon realize that airlines with such salary policies do not cater to highly experienced pilots... I also understand that soon, the FAA rules in USA will prevent airlines to use any pilot crewmembers with less than 1200 (or 1500) hours -

Really!!! You get to work for someone... for free! Sign me up. Seriously dude. If you want to build time, pay for it until you are a competitive enough to work as, say, a flight instructor. Paying to work for someone (this includes working for free) brings down the industry.
