and no no no its not going to do anything to make the industry better when mesa goes away

gojet and freedom? you cant even compare thats very different scenarios compared to what were talking about here. lets not confuse the issue
I hope they go down or, more likely, suffer a major reorganization. I know guys who work there who feel the same way (obviously they are trying to leave).

I feel for the people who have been there a while. It was never great, but it used to be good enough if you lived near one of their domiciles. I have to admit that I have no sympathy for some of the junior punks and street clowns that went over there lately knowing full well what they were getting into. A little unpaid time off from aviation might help improve their judgement.

I think a mesa liquidation or sell-off will make the industry better. Mesa is the poster-child for walmart-ization of the regional business. If their formula fails, others would certainly take notice.
