Third, when talking about a group that knows something, use their instead of there. Fourth, the Mesa has been losing the United contract rumor has been going on for years. Could Mesa lose it, sure, but United is only concerned with saving money, so they will likely keep Mesa. Fifth, Mesa is not losing money outside of the courtroom. Mesa just posted a profit. Should one pilot (you) be embarassed for having a gramatically impotent post (yours) full of inaccurate data (the information in your post)? Yes, you should; because you embarass me. Thanks for wishing Mesa pilots out of a job. I don't hope you and your family starve because of your loss of a job. 99.9% of Mesa pilots don't like Mesa either, there's just nowhere to go.
"Shot down" BY 5 (count 'em FIVE) regionals in the pilot market of the last 5 years ?
That tells me everything I need to know about you, pilot wise.
If that many regionals as hard up for pilots as they've been showed you the door, then it seems the only place that WOULD take you would be Mesa.
So my initial statement stands..............you hitched your buggy to the only (hack) outfit that would have you and that was your decision to sit behind the smellyest horse in the stable. I don't relish you losing your job, but J.O. HAS to go..............and it seems soon will. An individual of this character could have only lasted so long and most of us have seen that FOR YEARS. In your case it may be especially tragic as the only place left to go that you seem to be able to pass an interview is 7-11. Your grammar skills should serve you well on their application.
Good luck.
BTW, errors in spelling and grammar aren't always what they seem, but are frequently pointed out by those with no other argument or rebuttal and need "fluff" to fill their posts. My familty will keep you in their thoughts and prayers when Johnny gets what has been LONG overdue.
