I was talking to a Mesa payroll person a few weeks ago, and asked about the cost of living in Hawaii and Mesa wages. I asked her if there was a cost of living adjustment in the works, and she claimed that the accounting people understand some sort of adjustment needs to be made- that or people may get off a plane and see their pilot on the corner with a tin cup in his hand. Whether or not that materializes remains to be seen.

As for the success of the operation, I suspect J.O. has done his homework. Like him or not, he's certainly not an idiot.
