- 1 had family issues come up and needed to find a company that would get him a Houston base right away. He left another 121 for a 135, but was unsatisfied with the 135 and went to Mesa for the IAH base.



Honestly, not picking on the Mesa guys and I have met many that I would gladly fly with anyday, but it's no secret that Mesa does give many a second or third chance at a 121 career.



And I'm sure there are guys applying to Mesa who haven't done their research in advance and end up with the training contract and feel tied to the company.
