You have to have more confidence in yourself and your career than that. It's a pilot's market; 1-year FO's are getting on with Spirit. You made a post in February of '16 referring to working here. If you've been around that long, and you've been flying 26 years, I'm sure the Spirits and the Allegiants and the Frontiers would love to have you. Do you really think you'd have to start over at Envoy?

I don't believe it's been confirmed by anybody that United or American offered us more money to staff, and regardless it's not spitting in their faces to refuse continuing as the lowest paid 121 jet operator in the country. Have some self respect.

It's a big market, and I imagine just about every non-lifer Mesa pilot has their apps out anyway. Besides, if Mesa really got into trouble, we'd be a carrier in distress and get preferential interviews at other ALPA carriers. Alternatively, we get bought out by a place like SkyWest and go to their pay scales. I'd be fine with either scenario.
