If we last this down turn with out getting furloughed then we are setting our selves up to be in a good position for the next up swing. If things dont work out then we are right back to were we were as flight instructors. I have friends that fly for Mesa who are young and single, and they are having the time of their lives. It really does beat instructing, if I dont have a wife and kids to come home to then why shouldnt I work alot and build my experience and maybe make some money. I know your gonna flame me next for the money comment but getting JA or picking up trips pays 1.5. Mesa does suck for those who have reasons to be home and I can understand that, but honestly you shouldnt come on here telling people who you dont even know what they should and should not do with their lives. What a typical Mesa thread it goes way to long because some one asks a question and then the so called "aviation gods" have to chime in and tell them how things should be and what they should do with their lives. One word of advice worry about your self first Wiz, I mean honestly do you really think im gonna come on here and allow some guy who I dont even know to make my life decisions for me.
