As a former Mesa myself, I don't feel it appropriate to condemn any regional. Guys want time so they can move on. That crappy contract was in place when I got there and it continues to put Mesa's pilots at risk and continues to lower everyones morale there... If I didn't care about those guys, I'd say let it burn. But there's abunch of great pilots at Mesa (just like Sky West, ETC).

And to enter smug comments about a situation that the pilots have no control over is short sided at best. Blame ALPA and ALPA alone. Alpa was there at the signing as well. Alpa has a conflict of interest representing both Majors and Regionals and will never please everyone. Why do you think American created APA?

My two cents. Oh yeah you can blame that car salesman ___bag who runs the place too.
