I don’t think so. My theory is he is a Xjet pilot who has watched his airline destroyed. He is bitter. And, the fact they have a 6 year upgrade, just got awarded 20 CRJ200’s in ORD for United after SGU took away their 200’s saying that 200 flying is not profitable, has made him extremely jealous of Mesa success in IAH. Meanwhile, he suspects Xjet won’t get the new 25 E175SC’s coming online for UAL. (I don’t necessarily think we will get any of the new Ejets either).

If he was in our jumpseat, he is probably personable and the kind of pilot we wished would fly here at Mesa.
