I get disgusted every time I look at one of their pilots just thinking about what they have to go through and why they stay there. And yes, most Mesa guys I have come across have been nice. Although we had some guy jumpseat and not say hi or thanks. I guess since he was on United Express and can non-rev he chose to go that route. I only do that with gojet. Maybe he thought he was mainline? Those guys never say hi.

I'm certainly no fan of mesa, but you want to be careful with that training contract. Even though it is probably only marginally enforceable, if you don't spend the money on a lawyer to fight it, you could end up with a civil action and a judgement against you. That wouldn't look so good to future employers.

If you can legally get out of the contract, great, but I wouldn't plan on just leaving and ignoring it.
