I'm trying to figure out why any of care what goes on here at Mesa? You don't work here but yet you come here (I acknowledge that you have every right to) and trash not only the company but the pilot group. Smutter calls us "inmates."

GSCFI, skyvector, smutter and ChrisReed, and other non Mesa folks, why do you come here and try to convince us what we already know? We're grown men and women. We made our choice and don't you think we could move on if we would? Maybe starting at another regional (and yes that is exactly what PSA, Envoy, Skywest etc. are) would make sense to you but maybe it doesn't to us yet. If we are missing the boat what difference is it to you? Yes, we would make more money etc. but we'd still be working for a regional. Does it make you all feel good to tear down others? Does it make you feel better about your decisions? I'm glad the race to the top (hopefully) has begun. I'm glad you all are glad about your choices. But please stop tearing down our pilot group. I would guess most of you have never worked here and only know what you have been told. I have been here over a year and I can tell you the pilots I have flown with are great. Our chief pilot is great. I'm happy with my seniority and my schedules.

I was guilty of painting with a broad brush about PSA pilots and I was wrong. ChrisReed called me on it and he was right.

So flame away. Call us names.
