The main issue here is we have a new team of FEDs that are from Mesa and Trans States that are trying to turn what I believed was a pretty decent regional into a dump. This is just the tip of the iceburg. We have horrible DOT statistics and have some of the highest fines due to maintenance and instead of trying to actually accomplish things they just want to shift blame.
