I see what your saying, there always seems to be a lot up in the air though. Chataqua had the delta routes that Mesa is taking over in Orlando, from what I know. And express jet will be asking for pilot concessions when the contract with CAL comes up because they will be underbid by someone. Pinnacle, I am not sure about but with Northwest considering starting thier own regional service they could be left with out a carrier.

As far as do I want to work for Mesa, compared to where I came from Mesa could make me ride on the wing pay me half and it would still be better. Upgrade potential alone puts me further ahead. Am I going to make a life at Mesa, probrably not but getting from one point to another I don't see how one regional is much better than the other right now.
