Cry me a river bro--at least you weren't on the street.

It's comical listening to people like you and wt huffing and puffing about how hard you had it, when the only reason you've had a job (and kept your seniority) for the last decade is that you "bent over" and kept working under a concessionary contract.

I literally roll my eyes and laugh everytime I hear a Mesa pilot like you huff and puff about "holding the line" and "holding out for what you deserve." You have no idea what you're talking about--you didn't even get furloughed by Mesa in the downturn. No one should listen to you, because you've never "held the line" and gone through the consequences that ensue.

You guys also keep confusing the current profitability of our legacy partners with the financial position of Mesa and other regionals. Do you think the MEC is just lying to us about the results of the independent audit? Sure, JO could have a bunch of money in some offshore account that we don't know about, but I for one am not voting against a payraise based on a conspiracy theory.
