I agree, many of us have or will be humbled. Never say never! How can you fault someone for taking a job in their profession in order to keep working? Is it more honorable to collect unemployment and food stamps? Everyone I know that hated Mesa should have never applied there. They lived across the country and tried to support a family and a crash pad. Not an easy task. However, if you are fresh out of college and have low time, why would you not jump in the right seat of a jet and live all over the country?

Like any other job, do your research before you sign on. Mesa has some things about it that make people hate it. I have 2 friends that fly for them and have no problems. They don't mind living in the junior bases and are OK with the pay. They knew what they were signing on for.
