Yeah, maybe some new guys think it's cool to come on here and brag about 175's cause they have no perspective.

But I, and other's at Mesa have every right to be happy about this news. We've went from 1900 pilots to 700 pilots in a 3 year period. These are our jobs. We have kids to feed too. The prospect of upgrading again after 10 years in this bewildering industry is exceedingly good news, that's all.

We don't make as much as Express jet - great! Life isn't fair. We're working hard to improve things here, and have made great strides.

Mesa pilots are respected and welcome new-hires at every Major Airline on the planet!
