dont do it man.. it is not even a lateral move for you. you will be back to being an fo again. the flow through wont exist very long (if it really even exists now). mesaba and compass will be built up and sold to the highest bidder. then the supposed flow through will cease to exist. i also heard from a reliable source that they have a training contract you have to sign and that you will owe them money for training if you bail early..12000 for the year if i remember correctly (if someone knows the deal with this then please correct me if i am wrong). even pinnacle doesn't have a training contract. just keep building your pic and move up, not down.
