We all work here..if you even do..for different reasons and have different goals. I sound like a regional FO? You sound like the fat cat at the top in no danger of furlough. Try thinking of others besides yourself maybe? Nah..you’re too bitter about being at Mesa for 20 plus years and weren’t good enough to move on. See! I can make up stories in my head too!
First of all, if you think of a 20 year Mesa guy as a “fat cat” you are delusional. Secondly, if someone has been here 20 years the odds are pretty good that they probably have some experience with furloughs, downgrades, base closures etc.
Lastly, as far as 20 guys not being “good enough” to move move on, that’s just disrespectful and demonstrates your complete lack of the history of this business. Instead of blowing them off, you should have listened to the old timers stories that you have flown with -they have been through this before. None of this is anything new.
