Well-stated, FirstClass.

On a slightly different topic, for years I've heard how bad the Mesa contract is but I've never taken the time to look for details of their contract here on APC. Well, this morning I took a look at it. Do yourself a favor and look at it. It's AWFUL!!

Here's my point; the fact that Mesa continues to outperform PSA in attracting new hire pilots, given the abomination of a contract that they have,....... says something about PSA!

I don't know if it's one particular thing that makes Mesa more attractive to new hires, or if it's a combination of things, or if it's simply that pis$ed-off PSA pilots have been doing a great job of discouraging new hires from coming to PSA. But PSA management had better figure it out FAST! And dare I suggest that they grow a pair and start standing up to Dougie, ...... instead of joining him in his "group-think", circle-jerk sessions.

When we begin to hear about individual PSA management members leaving PSA to "pursue other interests",..... we'll know it's time for us to bail out as well.
