There is NO money. We make pennies on the dollar for the E175 lift. We aren't mainline and never will be. The reason we get new flying is because we underbid everyone.

If you think Mesa has millions upon millions in the bank you are sadly mistaken.

Get in, build that TPIC and get out. If I was to get downgraded you better bet I would be at every Jetblue/Spirit/United job fair offered. The story is the same with a lot of the Mesa guys who downgraded/sat right seat for 7+ years. Didn't network, didn't go to job fairs, no four year degrees, etc. You HAVE got to put in the extra effort.

Lots of Regional FOs have gotten picked up by mainline in the last couple years. They all have the same thing in common - THEY PUT IN THE EXTRA EFFORT TO GET OUT.

Stop whining and trying to make people feel sorry for you - I for one don't.
