I am pretty happy with life at the moment, 18 days off next month. Jetblue and Spirit do not interest me, its AA or Delta and that is it. After almost a decade commuting I finally drive to work and I will never go back to a long term commute. If you are happy at Mesa that is great, it seems like an okay place to build time and get out. My only point was it is hypocritical to talk trash about PSA or PDT when you are wishing for and predicting more aircraft at Mesa, especially given their history over the past 10 years or so.
Good luck working at AA. With your new contract and your low seniority. You might get that preferential flow through interview in seven years. Remember you have to wait your turn. With an average of 600 retiring each year over the next 7 years. That puts you on the back curve of the hiring boom. Delta would be your best bet. Good luck, sounds like you have had a rough road already.
