your guess is as good as mine or the next guys. if your looking at a place to go check out their contract and work rules and compare them also look at how the company is doing financially. Mesa is in a very tight financial spot and some companies are better suited to handle this economy. Even if you hedge your bet and go with the #1 regional now... two years or sometimes less is all it takes to go from 1st to last. It is a gamble so rub your rabbits foot

edit: sorry i thought you were looking at it from outside the industry. I did not realize your a 170 fo. cheers
