Yeah, maybe it just seems like Mesa is picking up flying there - particularly with the E175. They just seem to be putting new pilots into their base there. But, they may be putting new pilots into all of their bases given their reputation.
Mesa is the only airline that I know where FO's have recently quit and completely given up on their 121 dream, and they lay the blame on how Mesa treats their FO's. I'm sure there are others out there with other regionals, but I haven't come across any.
