JO has been the CEO of a once large company since the late 90's, and in high paying positions before that. Even if he stopped receiving any form of payment, he'd still be set for life.

Right now, Mesa is poor. A comparison with SKW isn't even possible. Creditors, private equity, etc. probably still have a big say in what Mesa can do, and where our money goes. We're a sub $20MM company with razor thin margins. Looking back at Mesa's history, it seems like the company has been able to pull through hard times and grow. From a contract standpoint, I think the best we could hope for is a marginal raise, some QOL improvements and continued growth.
