Congrats Mesa MEC.
I agree, but for different reasons. I'd be afraid the pilots would cave...over 50% of them are relatively new, and willingly went to work there in the midst of a massive industry hiring boom. Not sure what those folks were thinking...

But kudos to the MEC for exercising adult supervision at the playground, that's the way alpa SHOULD work at the regionals.
