I take it you are at a regional right now, correct? If that is the case would you find it reasonable for all of us at United, Delta, AA, SWA to ridicule you if you take a job at Frontier or Spirit? Or would you rather us acknowledge your pay needs to be better and support your efforts to improve things while treating you like a professional adult should?

I don't know all the in's and out's of the Mesa CBA and how much it lags other regionals. I do know there are some low life's their just as their are some really great guys that make up the pilot group. It's easy for you to sit and judge an entire pilot group for working there. You have no idea what their circumstances are. Maybe they couldn't get hired at your super special regional. Maybe they didn't want to commute from a junior Mesa base to your super special regional base. Maybe they were long term FO's from Expressjet or Republic that needed an out to finally get PIC time and a bit more pay compared to their dead end FO seat. Whatever their reasons are it's their life that they will live with.

As far as your BS comment of Mesa hurting the regionals... get real man. Majority of regional guys seem to be making tons of cash compared to the last 10 years right? You have how many regionals with straight up flows to AA and career path programs to United as well that werent options several years ago. Looks to me like everyone else seems to be doing just fine regardless of what Mesa pilots are bringing home.
