Well, the obvious answer whether to stay at Mesa or leave is "Leave as fast as possible." However, I'm thinking about quality of life, and actually, life with Go! is very very good. We make our own schedules, so even though we only get 8 days off per 28 days, I can cram all my work days towards the beginning of the month leaving 5 days in a row at the end. And next month I can start with 5 days off, which makes 10 days off in a row every other month. I've visited Australia, Peru, Paris, Phillippines, and Tokyo in only 8 months. I only wish I could upgrade back into Hawaii...

As for realistic ideas, I need 1000 ME PIC (no need for turbine) to get into FDX. I have a good friend who can walk my resume in, but he's not family. I flew a CRJ from HNL to PHX, so there's my overseas experience

I guess my decision lies on how fast I can get my PIC/ME time at PenAir.
