Far be it from me to defend Mesa, but:
(1) How many of their flights complete successfully, without a hitch, every day? (Even Mesa manages to do it right, even ignoring the abortion that is the ramp operation with Freedom in JFK.)
(2) The FA was brand new and probably would be better off financially working at McDonalds (indeed, that probably goes for most of the crew). Cut them a break, FFS.
(3) First Officers have to do their IOE somewhere...
