I don't understand why ANYONE has gone there in the last year or two. Anyone that did knew what they were signing up for, and had a choice of many other places with significantly higher pay and better work rules.

The people that got stuck at Mesa during the lost decade are another story. Jumping ship to the flavor of the month regional when you have seniority somewhere is a gamble, so I can't blame them for sticking around.

With that being said, anything mesa can do to improve QOL and pay pushes this industry in the direction it needs to go and helps us all in the end.
