Secondly, why commute across the country to a regional when there is one in your own backyard? I would rather not live in a place like Chicago, with it's sky high homicide rates and the fact that normal law abiding citizens cannot carry a concealed weapon. Y'all can keep it. I have zero desire to live north of the Mason-Dixon line or east of the Mississippi.
Why should one dump some serious coin to move across the country for a regional job when one can stay close to home? Think about it. That is what brings a lot of people to Mesa.
Skywest, Compass, TSA, Horizon all have bases west of the Mississippi, and didn't Mesa JUST JUST JUST close their ORD base? So you bash companies with an ORD base while sitting at a company with an ORD base?
