You *do* know that Mesaba Airlines declared bankrupcy on October 13th, 2005 while parent company MAIR didn't declare, right?

You gotta get your head out of the sand and quit drinking the kool-aid, man. You wanted to work at Mesaba and are happy there - that's great! Even with that, you've GOT to take the rose-colored glasses off and do some research on the last 5-10 years of Airlink history before you make such asinine comments in the future.
