I hear ya, can't say I totally disagree with you. BUT, before you go sticking Mesaba in the ranks of who you just mentioned, I would remind you to look at our training and safety record... among the best. Mesaba is part of the red tail family (and therefore leaves a lot to be desired) but we are not, a scab airline.
