Would have been better off at SkyWest in the long run but I didn't see the lost contracts and age 65 rule coming back in 2005. When you need a life and money you take what you can get. Not all of us are silver spooned and we need to pay bills. I believe SkyWest has just started hiring. Mesa has been hiring steadily for the last year so I'm sure many of the folks were in the same situation as I was. Now Slats you can say why did you go to Mesa because of the treatment, well sometimes you just need a job. I'm the most critical of Mesa because truthfully, they can suck the life out of you. But you can't put down fellow pilots because of a bad decision or bad timing. We're all regional pilots and across the board we're getting ripped off compared to our mainline brethren's.
