It is nice and mature of most of you to realize that it is indeed our management that is horrible and must go...but unfortunatley the VAST majority of regional pilots beg to differ and take their grudges out on us every day in forms of blocking our times when we call ops out of JFK (guess who does that one) or when i try to commute home and the entire flight i get crap from the pilots.....trust us, we know it sucks, and we are ALL trying to fix it or burn it.
I will always take a Mesa pilot on my jumpseat because they have always taken me. I have been pleasantly surprised when I have flown on Mesa on the jumpseat and in the cabin (many times) at how well it turned out in spite of the management. Speaks volumes of the folks who work there. Some misfits*, but misfits who do a good job IMHO. Good luck.
* I count myself as a misfit, so don't take it the wrong way!
