Well there are many things you are incorrect on. One I don't pat myself on the back for flying for Mesa. It's the bottom feeder of the regionals and is also why concessions are being asked across the board. In my case they were the only regional hiring at the time. Was already a captain here by the time the other regionals blew up my phone. Two Mesa will hire anybody in the right seat if they have a heartbeat. Training and other factors they figure will wipe them out eventually, if not they have an employee. As far as your view of alcohol dependency, it's at all the airlines and many people drink to much. Hopefully not before flying but even Skywest pilots have made the news. I'm really glad you steered away from Mesa because I absolutely could not stand flying with someone so judgmental and a bore. This industry use to be so fun until you nerds came in and took the life and the fun out of this business. I'm not saying fly drunk or drink and drive, be responsible and loosen up a little. Have some fun, thats what the Airline business use to be about.
