maybe you should do more listening and less talking until you get a deeper perspective. At a regional like ASA where upgrades happen at 8+ years, 13 years isn't that much. The mainline furloughs in the early 2000s and age 65 causing 8 years of stagnation sure didn't help. But the up side is that we have a liveable contract in the even that the economy takes another dump, or there's another terrorist attack and the industry implodes again. I hope it works out for you at Mesa, and I mean that as sarcastically as possible.

FWIW I have seen my peers since CFI school in 2008 get to the majors. I have heard the stagnation argument and everyone has heard your justifications. I will never know or understand why it is that some people make assumptions about others with little to no information. What you are doing is slamming an entire airline, all of the pilots, flight attendants, ground personal, management ect. These people are our peers who could use support from people like you and me as it affects all of us. I would think that someone with your "experience" would understand that. I don't work for Mesa, and I don't appreciate it when I have to read about people like you putting down others like a child.
