Boy, it's hard to quantify that sort of thing, but anyone who accepted a job at mesa after 2005 has questionable judgement, and anyone hired in 2007 must have some sort of an issue...they are at least guilty of gross ignorance. Prior to 2006 mesa was not THAT bad (at least not all the time), they had large, growing western bases, and fast upgrades.
Unless you worked as the sole CFI at the sole airport in a county in upper new england which has not yet been wired for the internet, it's inconcievable that any career pilot type was not warned about mesa, or at least prompted to do some research.
Any mesa FO under three years has to be nuts not to leave. Or so incompetent/lazy that they can't get hired at another regional despite their mesa 121 experience.
