It was a Part 121 flight which really doesn't matter since an alternate is required either way and just because of freaking common sense.
That was just the culture at Mesa back then. The System Chief Pilot yelled at PIC's for making a fuel stop halfway to destination when due to unforseen events they would be landing with less than 45 minutes of fuel. His comment was "reserve fuel is there to be used". 😲
