my recently retired NWA CA neighbor said "a pilot with 500 hrs knows just enough to be dangerous".

I'm sure there are many stories here, like the one I heard from a Mesa jumpseater about an off the street Captain with 100 hours in the CRJ, barely an ATP, and their 300 hour TOTAL FO trying to stick a landing that was fast and long, and then trying to get off at the "usual" taxiway far too fast.

Frankly I'm disgusted by Mesa and their disregard for their passenger's safety.
