Splendid! Why did I limit the scope of this idea to only Mesa when ALL airlines can have a subcontractor operating their same fleet type for depressed wages! What a grand idea! Surely nothing bad could come of that!
It would be so safe too! Just throw a bunch of CFIs in a 737 and BAM! industry saved!
