Like come on guys--you could've renovated a house, completed a graduate degree, learned a new language/skill, or a million other productive, healthy things, just in the time you spend blathering on in OTHER regionals' forums!!!

Go do something productive and positive with your time. Channel whatever bitterness you have towards Mesa and other regionals into making yourself a better candidate for mainline jobs, LCCs, and Emirates/Ethiad/Qatar (if your personal situtation allows an ME job). It's hard to break out of the rut of negativity and bitterness and infighting--the "next to last" is always more vicious towards the "last" than they are towards the richer, because of our Biology. Rise above your primate brain and realize that isn't the way forward.

Okay I'm done posting in this thread--get over yourselves and until your callsign matches the brand name printed on your passengers' tickets, you're a freaking joke for thinking you're better than anyone else.
