Potential new hires, please stop coming to Mesa. Apply and deny to come and when asked say fix your contract. As long as you keep coming there is no reason for a new contract to get done. Please help!

Also, I cannot seem to find the whole dual suction mount kit on Amazon. Anyone have a link? I see the mini, does anyone have an opinion as to which is better?

Not Amazon, but this is the one provided by the company.

I'm not trying to come after you, I just want you to realize the hilarity of your statements.

You think that contract violations are something new for JO?

I think a lot of you wide eyed new hires are in for a big surprise once your out on the line in suckville! And no it's not unique to Mesa alone but you really don't know how bad it can be until your out of kool aid land and into the real world... Your contract WILL be violated repeatedly! After a while the excitement of flying a jet starts to ware off and you'll start to wonder if it's even worth it! The actual flying is great but everything else you deal with, like not making any money sucks!
