Crap pay, crap reserve rules (if any), and so on. Find a regional that has a base near you, get your time, and get out.
Not following you… the bankruptcy hadn't anything to do with the vote. NOT flame: the contract reads today because Mesa pilots have never had enough leverage to force management to negotiate improvements… along with the obvious management's "inability" (i.e. unwillingness) to offer anything with substance.
