Somtimes prematurely jumping out to the frying pan can lead one into the fire.
Most likely, a mesa collapse would simply be absorbed industry-wide as part of the current downsizing. A few post-mesa jobs will crop up, but nothing like the last few years.
If you are at mesa, and plan on staying in aviation after the end, get a job NOW, like this week. That way you will beat the rush. If I'm I'm wrong, and there is a lot of hiring you can always take advantage of it when it materializes.
