That's true in all facets of life, Brody.

But the problem is we work for a crook. He stole from his clients while a stockbroker. He mastered the shell game of moving money around to pad his pockets at the expense of others. Then he took these newly-developed skills into the airline industry courtesy of Virgin Express and later, Continental Express. And today, as a result, we have his traveling freak show of aviation horrors, aka Mesa Airlines.

He stole from others before coming to Mesa. He has done it to us here with impunity in the past, continues to do it today, and will do it in the future. The spots on a leopard never change.

We only argue about hotels here because we have become immunized to the larger problem around us ... aka Stockholm Syndrome.
