Some of Mesa's hotels suck? Understatement of the year. My decision to leave Mesa has been the best one of my life and the hotel situation is only the start of it. Good luck to all of you still at Mesa...it baffles me why some of you insist on staying there. Oh wait, no it doesn't. You all think that with an upgrade you will get chased down the street by a major the second you hit 1,000 hours PIC.

Best of luck with that. Just remember, swapping seats with the FO and letting him/her land from the left seat will probably not do wonders for your career. Especially when an aircraft spotter just happens to take a picture the moment she hits the wingtip on the runway.
