You're a freakin nut. The only thing it demonstrates is that Mesas crappy FO pay is coming back to bite them and the only way they can keep planes in the air now is to use all of their reserve captains in the right seat. If you think it has anything to do with them being conscientious or caring then it's either the koolaid or the crack pipe. And, after I got my license the only time my parents rode with me was if they needed a ride. When I got my license it was because I demonstrated to New York State that I could safely operate a car without anyone else in it. What planet are you from, I'm curious?
