Yes, better to commute.
Mesa management appears to be functioning in a delusional fantasy-land. Part of their problem is that their middle-managers (like most mesa employees) are worthless incompetents who are too spineless to tell the top bosses anything they don't want to hear. I'm not sure that JO realizes exactly how much deep do-do he's in now that the bottomless pilot-well has run dry. By the time they figure it out it will be too late.
I think mesa's current business plan is to hope like hell for another 9/11 event that will solve their pilot shortage. If you think I'm kidding about this, you have obviously never worked at mesa.
