Any Mesa pilots have suggestions on what to do? I'm new-ish, and don't want be get caught out of position. Is there any way to get a positive space ticket from the company so that I'm not out of position....what can I do who do I call?
Thanks for any advise!

Skywest will often bail you out of a situation like that if you have made an honest effort. But mesa? Not a chance. The good news is that they probably can't afford to fire you right now.
Call in sick, and enjoy your days off...it's the only way you'll get more than 2-3 days off at mesa.
