The future didn't look so bright at Mesa until the the 175 order was announced. They were giving out jobs by phone interview recently. You can prognosticate all you want but you don't know the future better than anyone else. And by the way you didn't answer me about the quality of your contract. All mainline is doing is giving new airplanes to companies with the worst contracts. This is why mesa and rah were awarded flying. As long as there are pilots out there willing to jump from the bottom of one list to another for the sake of "having a future" there will never be a pilot shortage - even at the regional level. You guys must be drinking heavy quantities of kool aid to think that contractually things are that great at mesa compared to just about every other regional.
