Especially ones with a better contract...
I really do wish you the best and maybe Mesa is the best option for some. Unfortunately, you have junior pilots living on foodstamps while you are making some of the lowest captain pay out there. You have many pilots in training now that have washed out of other 121 training programs. Many are now leaving Mesa to go back to other regionals because Mesa is so bad. You keep enjoying that house and living the dream at Mesa! Oh yeah and that 11 minimum days off!
