Funny you should mention that. A few of the F/O's that my dad talked with had their multi-time on a cessna 310 and a Seminole. I know the guy that flew the seminole had only been flying for a little over a year and a half. Granted, the other guys may have gone to the mesa program but with 40 f/o's that quit last week, I'd say they're going to get desparate. As far as quitting before upgrade, I'd say most people are safe; I think most airlines (chief pilots) understand that Mesa blows and would be most impressed if you could stick it out for a year or two. Also I sent you an email. Maybe we can go fly sometime if you like.
