Other than that, your post is factual; unfourtunate as that is.
Although I’m glad to hear they've changed their hotel policies, it looks like the rest of my posting seems to be backed by many current and former Mesa pilots on this thread. Maybe it’s a single CP but it sound more like a crew support problem.
Whether this is a small minority or majority, it’s a problem, along with the rest of your TA. Please don’t get me wrong, I fully understand that you all are working hard to change it and I back all of you in your efforts.
I do question your new hires about their blind move to Mesa and I’m continually amazed that pilots, who spent so much time and money getting to where they are, jump willingly without researching first. But for those of you who are trapped in “Orenstein’s web,” I wish you the best of luck.
There is one thing that Mesa pilots have that we at SKW don't. It's an easy decision to leave! LOL! Most of the pilots I come across ,here at SKW, that are thinking about leaving seem to be having a real heard time with it. Even back when the going was good (i.e. summer 06). If you come from Mesa then any regional or major is a huge step up and an improvement in every aspect of your life.
