This is the real truth, as a street CA you will be at the bottom and first to go if something should happen. Mesaba is kinda the hot place to go at the moment, but don't forget how they got to this point. Mesaba went into a sham of BK thanks to their holding company, got rid of a bunch of avros, slashed wages with the help of a judge and laid off a large number of pilots which many didn't return from furlough. They have a great group of pilots, but don't ignore the recent history.
