Those same guys would radically change their attitudes when being under the command of competent people, who aren't fellons.
3) Fire JO and everyone else in a position of power, and fill those positions with competent men and women who know how to properly run an airline.
i'm sure i speak for him and everyone else here when i say that getting the people from mesa isn't what he meant when he said it would be bad, basically. we all know mesa pilots, and just feel bad for the situation they are in. the people and the planes would be great assets to pick up, but the overall company (leadership, reputation, etc.) is a nightmare. no one here is saying anything bad about mesa pilots, believe me.
