The above answers cover this concern very well. Allow me to phrase it slightly different...Your decision to walk saved you an enormous amount of time and frustration. The ills and failure of Mesa of not being a reasonable place to work falls on the CEO. As most have learned, he is a greedy, selfish and an uncaring man. It is my understanding he has a criminal background and was bared from his previous career. His actions have caused Mesa to be sued by several of the majors and the collapse and loss of the Delta Airlines business by falsifying documents. He plays by a different set of rules than a businessman of good moral character. Walk away and let others know to avoid Mesa at all cost.
