Don't say you don't enjoy working for the worst airline in the industry when you went there by choice. For the past several years any pilot could have gone to just about any other carrier. But instead hundreds of pilots have decided that they were going to sell themselves out to Mesa for the quick upgrade.

The contract at Mesa has been used as the example to every other pilot in this business to cut costs. "Mesa does it for this price, why won't you?" "Mesa allows only 8 days per month off? Why won't you do it like that?"

So don't come whining when many parts of the rest of the industry would like nothing more than to see Mesa as a company go away. The business practices that Mesa has used are examples of why this business is going downhill.

Do I want to see Mesa pilots without jobs? No. But nobody there didn't know exactly what they were signing up for when they signed up.
