Sorry if I'm being a bit of a Mesa apologist on here ya'll--I'll never be a "company man", but I went through some pretty horrible times at my last employer, and just having chief pilots who are decent human beings, having some very limited control/transparency with my sched via flica, and being able to upgrade before I'm old and tired--all of those things make this place worth it to me personally.

Some of you probably have different situations/experiences in this industry, and some of you obviously perceive Mesa as an unacceptable place to work, but for me personally, it's a decent place that has treated me like a human being.
