Mesa is about to fly 737s, or maybe a 135 operator is the right fit, so the grass is always greener across the fence. If you regret (big word) coming here, EDV is not holding you hostage so just get out before depression takes over and be happy.

The airlines are not Google where you bring your pet to work (emotional support), there are very well defined lines based on seniority and the contract, so even Neil Armstrong would have to single file and start from the bottom. Every airline is like this.

The industry was a different world just 5 years ago, maybe all these over priced schools need to start teaching some recent history so young pilots realize this is a good time to be a pilot.

Good luck.
